Dear Sir : - 
Your letter of date Feby 26th, enclosing your check for 
$110. in payment of 15 herons, was reed today, for which accept m y 
thanks, the amount being entirely satisfactory. I expected you wld 
r 
be pleased with the birds. The three skins with extended legs were 
made up before you-had advised me about folding the legs; the others 
were made after your preference in that respect was known. 
I am very sorry to hear tfiff your recent severe illness, and 
sincerely trust the trip south will speedily restore you to health. 
With best wishes, believe me, 
Wm. Brewster, Cambridge, Mass, 
Your 5 s very truly,
