Dear Bill: 
I have read your book with the greatest 
interest. In fact I am amazed at your facility 
to remember the details of your collecting trips. 
In addition to this, however, I am delighted 
with your easy style and the amount of informa¬ 
tion which you have been able to present in 
readable form. I congratulate you most heartily 
on this work and suggest that you might now pick 
up the story where you have left off in Ant Hill 
Odyssey and write a second volume on your ex¬ 
periences as the Director of a great zoological 
institution. 
Yours sincerely, 
s
