Dear Mr*Brewster:- 
I run greatly pleased by the kindly view you take 
of the new book, and thank you very much for your friendly 
words* 
There is 30 much that is interesting in the life 
[histories of all our birds that it seemed to me worth while, 
I in the case of those in which sportsmen are chiefly inter¬ 
ested, to try to give them a book that they might read with 
I some other motive than merely learning how to Capture the 
birds that they pursue* There seemed an opportunity here 
to do a little concealed preaching which might pe: 
some good* 
The average gunner is just as capable of 
ing the interesting facts in bird life as amy one 
it is worth while to try to make him see the thing 
as yet blind to* 
„Mr* fm* Brewster, 
145 Brattle St*, 
Cambridge, 
Youre sincerely, 
Mass*
