Mr, Alex V/etraore, 
Corinne, Utah, 
My dear Wetmore: 
In response to your letter of October 5 I may say that the letter 
relating to your work; in George Washington University has been found 
and that all questions raised relating to this work have been disposed 
of. In the present nebulous state of your work at the Uational Museum 
it will be unnecesary to take official cognizance of it. If I)r, Rich- 
mond's proposal is ever carried through it will, of course, have to be 
done officially and probably through the two secretaries, 
I aiia glad to learn of your securing such definite results both in 
the case of the duck sickness and lead poisoning, Y/e have just received 
another report of the capture of a banded bird. This one did not get far 
‘w«.» 
away as the locality is given as near the moutn of Bear River, The number 
of the band is 4050 but the species of duck is not given. 
The subvouchers recently requested by you were mailed -y©sterday. 
With best regards, I am 
Sincerely yours. 
Assistant Biologist,
