Att: Mr. D. W. Douglass, 
Executive, Technical Staff 
Dear Mr. Douglass: 
I beg to acknowledge with much appreciation 
yours of May 11 forwarding permit #80 giving the 
authorization for the collection of birds in the 
State of Michigan. I return herewith the application 
form together with my check to cover the fee. 
In this connection, I have my federal permit which 
has been extended by the Fish and Wildlife Service, 
under date of May 7, 1951, to cover the taking of 
migratory birds in Michigan. 
I note what you say relative to the permissions 
to carry a gun in Michigan and through Dr. Van Tyne 
will contact the local conservation officer in advance 
relative to this. I have been looking forward for 
several years to some ornithological studies in your 
State and am especially pleased to carry this forward 
in the company of my old friend Dr. Van Tyne. 
I am 
Very sincerely yours. 
A. Wetmore, 
Secretary,
