Dear Dr. Morrison: 
A service training center has asked us to supply 
v a brown booby mounted flying for use in survival training. ‘ To 
prepare such a bird properly we need to have one that is freshly 
skinned* 
Will it be possible for you to shoot two birds, skin 
them and poison them with arsenic as X did the two frigates we 
collected? Let them dry for a few days until there will not be 
danger of mold and then pack them and send them up. They would 
need to come by air* 
To do this you will need to have seme assistance in 
getting out mad perhaps in getting a gun and ammunition. Possibly 
if you show this letter to some one in charge it may be of assistance 
in making the arrangements. 
If you can go out I hope that you will have a good 
marksman. 
Get adult birds with dark breast and white abdomen 
if possible, if not the gray young* 
Sincerely yours. 
A. Wetaore, 
Assistant Secretary.
