Gentlemens - 
May I ask If it Is practicable for you to make for 
m© six clinical thermometers registering from 95° to 115° 
Fahrenheit for use in taking bird temperatures? I wish to 
have these delivered not later than March 5. 
You may possibly recall that I have bought a consider¬ 
able number of instruments of the type described from you in 
previous years, and that others who have been interested in the 
matter, at my suggestion, made similar purchase from your firm. 
I expect to get amy for a short trip to Haiti end Santo Domingo 
early in March and desire the thermometers for use in studies of 
Idxe body temperatures of birds in that tropical region. Your prompt 
attention in this matter will b© greatly appreciated. 
If you can handle the commission please ship and bill 
to me direct that there may be no delay in the matter. I am 
Very truly yours.
