De;ar Sir: 
Yonr letter of May 13 ta. s been received. It is evident from 
its context that we did not make clear that the permit was desired 
so that Mr. Wetmore could collect birds in the refjions where ho is 
carr 5 dng on investigations. We do not wish him to collect miscella- 
neous birds, but onl;/ those which are a>330Giated in some ws-y with the 
investigations he is carrying on. I shall be obliged, therefore, if 
you will issue at your earliest convenience a nermit anlihorising him 
'•..5 
to collect specimens in any portion of the State where his -work may 
take him. 
Tory truly yours.
