Baguio, Benguet. 
My dear Doctor Mearns 
Mr. Pie teller reminds me that you promised 
him some notes relative to the "bird and mammal life 
of the Philippine Islands. Mr. Merrill is giving him 
some features in regard to the Philippine flora, and I 
should very much like to send your notes with his. 
As Mr. Fletcher is going to do some writing 
which will do us considerable good out here, may I ash 
you to do this and send the manuscript to me?—so that 
I can forward it together with Mr. Merrill's remarks. 
With best regards, I am. 
Very respectfully. 
Director, Bureau of Science
