insinuate,as I believe Miss Kimball does,that he did not give full value 
for his money. 
I believed then and I believe now that the Society lost an 
opportunity to regain the ground it has lost in the last ten years,by not 
making use of the qualities Mr.Baynes possesses,among which are great de¬ 
votion to the cause of bird-protection. 
I wish that you would convey to the Directors in some way 
my feeling that if any of them share the state of mind in which Miss Kimball 
seems to have written this letter,an injustice has been done to Mr. Baynes. 
Please do not do more than acknowledge this letter,for I do 
not wish my associations with the Society to be other than pleasant.I wish 
to forget any past annoyances and practise charity toward Miss Kimball for 
instance.I do feel however that this letter of hers is petty in its spirit, 
and that any friend of Mr. Bay^nes should resent it. 
May I trouble you to forward also my approval of the bill 
to Miss Kimball or to the Directors.

Let me begin at once to put the matter from my mind by tellig 
you of two Evening Grosbeaks that I saw last Sunday.Have you run into any 
inMass. yet?A Prairie Lark singing yesterday is the first hint of future 
pleasures. 
With best wishes, 
Yours very sincerely,
