My dear Brewster; 
Your kind favor just arrived. Many thanks for 
you** generous offer, but I would not think of such a thing, t have 
now got over being MAD about it, but you know how aggravating it is 
to receive things in such shape when a fellow is willing to pay the 
cost of having them done right. The Review was as bad as the Ad 
Addendum, and the number of the different extras was not as I or¬ 
dered; but its over now,so we will say nothing more about it. 
How are you off for material for the next Bull.? 
Is Prof.Allen in Cambridge? Are you never coming up he^e to 
make me a little visit? I do wish you would this winter. 
I have a couple of young birds that l want ,to ask you about. 
Do you ever find those gigantic Aegiothus Hoelbolli to be com¬ 
mon where you navigate? t shot one the other- day that measured in 
length nearly an inch, and in extent ovei* an inch and a half, more 
than an individual of AR.linaria from the same flock.! 
We have but half a foot of snow left,but expect an abundance 
in a few days. 
Very sincerely your’s,
