Thanks for your letter of the 9th, which is just 
at hand 
your efforts and knowledge to making the uni ml-oat oh work 
& success* Of course we would collect other specimens, too, 
and I have taken it up so far from the standpoint of a co¬ 
operative expedition, including, of course, the London Zoo, 
in which we would deposit some of our specimens. 
You would prohahly want to remain in the country con¬ 
siderably longer than the rest* 
This idea so etas to me the host way—in fa ct, the only 
way—ir, which re cun secure ct present* for the Zoological 
Park & large addition of good animals to our collection, so 
X tm enthusiastic about it# 
you personally* Could you meet me in Yew York sometime? 
then the expedition gets on a basis of having some funds 
available I could, of course, pay the expenses of such a 
trip. 
Sincerely yours, 
f
