In May. 
1900. I saw an arctic three toe here a week ago - the first I 
May 1. ever knew. I think it was a female, tho ' I was not high e- 
nough relative to the bird's crown to be sure. I watched her 
at about six yards for many minutes. 
Copied from a letter to William Brewster 
from Abbott H. Thayer, dated, Dublin, N.H. , 
May 3, 1900.
