Dear Dr. Morrison: 
Your two letters dated May 4 and May 8 have come through, 
and in accordance with your request a package has gone forward to you 
by airmail containing a supply of cheesecloth and the numbered tag3. 
Possibly the series of numbers may not be continuous with those that 
you have been using since we are not altogether certain that a hundred 
are not missing from the sequence. However, this need make no differ¬ 
ence in your record. 
The news that you give me is interesting but I would like 
to ask that you write more frequently so that I may be more closely in 
touch with what you are doing. I realize that it is difficult to 
write under existing circumstances but with my own knowledge of what 
you are doing I can easily follow your statements. 
With regard to your longer stay I note that you think it 
desirable to remain for a further period. You will recall our dis¬ 
cussion of this matter before I came north and the instructions that 
I left with you. These will govern the period that it is necessary 
for you to be there. There will be no difficulty as to your draft 
status since we have agreement with your Board concerning this as you 
have been advised. 
Mrs. Morrison spoke to me about the flashlight but since 
we were under necessity of forwarding the package that has gone to you 
by airmail we could not well include that article. 
I am pleased to know that the savanna is available and 
that it has given good result. I shall always regret not having seen 
it though probably it is not too striking. In visiting it watch for 
the Caracara which is a fair sized hawk that is often seen on the 
ground, dark in color, except for light on the head and upner breast, 
with a somewhat You may know of it from other localities 
as it is widely spread from the southern United States southward.
