Dear Mr. Erewster: 
This is just a few lines to tell you how much 
pleased I am to have the photograph of yourself,which arrived in 
perfect condition some days ago. I should have acknowledged it 
sooner, hut wanted to make a copy of it for my little hook. As my 
luck was fairly good it may interest you to have a sample of how 
it came out. I am also enclosing the film because you may some 
time wish for a picture of this size, so you had better keep it. 
My little Kodao seems to me to take unusually good pictures,so 
I think I must have been fortunate in getting an extra good 
lense. 
Last Saturday a friend and I went out in his automo¬ 
bile for the morning and brought home one Dusky Horned Owl, two 
Redpolls(very rare here), a magnificent Bohemian Waxwing, and 
a Hepburn’ s Rosy Finch ---> all in perfect condition. I have 
never seen the Rosy Finch here before, although they are not rare 
above timber line during the summer in the Cascades, This is the 
second season that I have ever seen the Bohemian Waxwings here, 
so we were well pleased with our morning. 
Thanking you again for your photograph, I am, 
Always gl rift v vnuyp
