Dear Professor Gregory 
1 am very glad Indeed to receive your two letters of July 8, con? 
corning the proposed biological survey of the Hawaiian Bird Reservation, 
It is fine that there is an appropriate boat now at Pearl Harbor. It i® 
also very .gratifying that Admiral Si ape on sympathises ■ad th the project 
as that will facilitate matters vary such indeed.

fan mention the fact that the wages and subsistence of the Hawaii’ 
an aethers of th© crew could probably not be met by payment from Bavy 
funds and state that that will not be very serious a® they could prob¬ 
ably be obtained for three months* worts for less than $2,000* 1 hop® 
you know where the $2,0DC are coming from* fou are no doubt aware that 
the funds of th© Biological Survey are appropriated for specific pur¬ 
poses and we will be.put to it to carry our end of the work with sobs© 
hole from friends from the outside. However, this is one of the many 
matters connected with the plan which are to be worked out when you 
are hero in October, I shall be very glad indeed to see you and the 
entire matter will -be then disposed of. It looks as though we might 
work, out a most successful project, :‘ 2 . 
In connection with the work within the lines of th© reservation 
I would like to call your attention the possibility of carrying it to 
adjacent islands, if there are any which need work within a reasonable 
distance, Tihen the boat is in commission and is conducting the work 
it might be feasible, at exceedingly small additional expense, to take 
in a few other Islands* 2hic is a matter for consideration when you 
are here, and if you think it practicable we could take it up with 
Colonel Roosevelt, At the present time, of course, 1 do not think 
it would be good policy to make such suggestions to the Davy Depart¬ 
ment until we have all of our plans very definitely in hand. 
• Sincerely yours,
