Dear Mr. Finniganj 
lour haiite was given me by Dr. Edward R. Saylor 
of the University of Michigan in connection with my 
desire to obtain fc;r of the physiological light 
traps which he designed. He tells roe that you make 
than. 
Can you send me four of them by special deliveiy 
parcel post or any other medium which is as rapid? 
I had hoped to get these traps by March 15 but I may 
be too late. The urgency is caused by the immediate 
needs of the &nithsonian-Bredin Expedition to the 
Belgian Congo, which leaves here in about two weeks. 
I certainly hope that you can help us by furnishing 
any number, that you have ready to ship, up to four. 
If you can supply the foui’ at once, please ship then 
immediately, if not, we will be iiappy to have the 
ones on hand now and you can ship the remainder of 
the four later. 
As soon as you let roe know the price I will mail 
you a check but please do not delay sending the traps. 
I am very well known to Bob Miller, Reeve Bailey, and 
van der Schalie. 
Thanking you for any assistance you can render, 
I am. 
Sincerely yours.
