Dear Dick* 
Please be our guest at the AOlf Meeting in Duluth on 
your way back to wherever you are coming bads, to! It had 
been summarily decided that you ought to give a paper on 
finches at the meeting until some wise guy (Ely? Pyle?) 
pointed out that such a paper had already been given at a 
Cooper Meeting* This apparently cannot be done over again 
very well because somebody who might have been at the Cooper 
Meeting could conceivably be at the AQU Meeting! I think 
that there were tremendous days in the past when eoiamunications 
and travel were more difficult - I know that the politicians, 
at least, were able to give the same speech in every county 
in the state. 
I think that either Bob or Chuck has written to you 
about giving a paper at the AOU meeting on a subject other 
than Laysan Finches. I understand that we will somehow get 
it cleared (after you somehow get it written) between 
August 8 6 and September 5. Please pick a subject about which 
there could be no possible difficulty. 
we in about the 16th straight day of 95$+ » I find 
it extremely easy to stay on here working overt ime because we 
are so beautifully air conditioned. Everybody would welcome 
a rip-roaring thunderstorm. 
Best regards, 
Jane P. Church
