Mr. Wm. Brewster, 
Cambridge, Mass. 
Dear Sir: 
I have looked over my order book for the Ruddy Duck, but 
cannot seem to strike it. I think that I gave you at the time a 
memorandum of the bird, and if vou can give me the year and the 
month I can find it all right . 
A customer told me yesterday that he had a Pileated 
Woodpecker, killed at Quincy. He has mounted if, how good a job 
of course I do not know. I might be able to trade for it, and if 
so what would it be worth to you? Gan you tell me whether it 
has over been taken in Mass* before?
