Dear Sir,- 
I have heard in a roundabout way that the Chicago 
University has made some proposition to Mr. Charles B. Corey to 
part with his collection of bird skins. Is Mr. Corey likely to 
sell them, and is it a collection which the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology would like to have? I have always supposed that Mr. Corey 
was not likely to sell his collection--at least, not at present. 
Very truly yours 
Mr, William Brewster.
