My dear Doctor 
Upon returning to the office after an ah 
sence of a few days, I find your letter of November 
10th on my desk. 
I have instructed Protector Gibb to send 
you some additional specimens, and if I can get an 
opportunity to get into several coveys of birds and 
get some specimens that will be worth while, I will 
try and send you some before the end of the month. 
I will certainly be glad to learn from you the re¬ 
sults of your investigation in Maryland. I tried to 
get some specimens for you in Adams county on Novem¬ 
ber 11th. We got into two different coveys, one of 
them natives beyond any question, and the other Mex¬ 
icans bSyond any doubt. In the Mexican covey we 
killed the old hen, but the dogs mutilated her so 
badly that she was not desirable for your purpose. 
We also killed four young birds out of that covey, 
but their plumage was not yet fully developed, so that 
I did not think you would desire them for your collect¬ 
ion. 
Very 
Secretary, Game Commission
