Dear Sir : - 
July 6th. 1898. 
I am in receipt of your letter of June 28th, enclosing 
Post-office money order of $29.25, in payment of recent shipment of 
bird skins to Mr. Brewster. I suppose you have already received my 
letter with extra data re these skins, I might add to that al- 
ready sent concerning i spponbill without data, that old Lecheva- 
lier gave it to me about six years ago, having shot it in the neigh¬ 
borhood of Chatham Bond, his home , on the keys^between here and 
Cape Sable. Thanking you for your kindness in this as in other 
instances, I beg to subscribe myself, 
Your’s very truly,
