Sirs- 
Ordnanco Sorgt. Horace W. Bivins, at this post has 
two Specimen's of "The Monkey Eating Eagle"« One dead, has 
Boon mountedj The other is alive and is*a fine specimen 0 
I understand that this Bird is rare, and commands a 
high pt-ioe. He desires to dispose of both, and I thought 
that possibly due to the great interest you take in these 
/ 
matters you can give some advice as to whom he should apply 
relative to sale. 
Trusting that I am not presuming ton much upon your 
kindness.
