Bear Dr, V/etmore: 
In thinking over the natter of the contribution from Dr. Sanford to 
the Hawaiian expedition I have decided that in view of the willingness which 
he repeatedly expressed to me to have his participation ounceleu it will oe 
best for you to draw your check for the §1200 and inclose it in a letter 
which I am sending Sanford. The letter will be prepared and will oe sent 
as soon as your check is ready to inclose. The matter will be left in Hr. 
Henderson's hands to handle. 
During your trip of course you will not tail to secure a good sub¬ 
stantial series of all of the land birds peculiar to the various islands 
you visit and also of desirable seafowl, especially those which are 
scantily or not at all represented in our collection, de snould have 
enough material of this kind so that a few specimens at least will be 
available for exchanges to secure equally valuable material from other 
areas. 
bincerely yours.
