Mr. Wm. Brewster, 
Cambridge, Mass. 
My dear Sir:- 
I expect to Be in Boston early in January and would like the 
privilege of examining your collection of Birds and Eggs. Of course 
I know it to be very fine. My own collection of North American 
Birds and Eggs numbers about 1000 species of each. I have many that 
are exceedingly rare. I am soon to receive from Europe a fine male 
specimen of the Labrador It has cost me so much that I hardly 
believe I shall keep it if I have an opportunity to dispose of it. 
Yours very truly,
