but you saw a certainty of starvation if I kept to fetcii south, 
with me, as originally intended.. I suppose either that the 
bird was born far north and was overtaken by the early frosts, 
or that it was congenitally a bad flyer; or both. I presume 
that I am not wrong in calling its occurrence in northern 
Maine at that date a matter of unusual record, perhaps a full 
month too late? 
Copied frdra a letter to Vto. Brewster written

September 28, 1899.
