Mv Bear Mr. Brewsterl- 
I procured that oird for you, olid delivered him 
into Clark's hands myself. Will you please accept him from me as a 
present? I didn't pay any fifteen dollars for him either. 
I bought him of F. h. Hosmer & Co., 10 -I 6 Quincy Market. 
The youth who sold him to me was Ralph Hosmer,I oelicve. He tells me 
that it came in on a Dominion Line steamer, together with a couple of 
snowy owls, from a man named Harry Smith of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. 
Hosmer says he will guarantee that the oird is not a European oird, but 
says he does not know where Smith got him, as Smith buys oirds of 
various gunners and trappers as they bring them in to him. Now you 
have the whole story so far as I am concerned. Of course the Doy may 
have lied, but mv impression is otherwise. 
Very sincerely yours 
( Diet.) 
F. H. KENNARD.
