Mr. William Brewster, 
Cambridge, Mass. 
My dear Sir!- 
I had the good fortune to secure this year a set of 
the Hermit Warbler n/ 4 in the Sierra Nevada Mts. which I may 
dispose of if a satisfactory offer is secured. The nest is in 
situ on the pine limb, which is a little over one foot in length. 
Mr. Norris has made me an offer of y25. and I do not 
know 
how you regard such rareties so merely invite your offer, 
should you wish to make one. This set is the second authentic 
set taken up to the present time, the first set taken bv Mr. 
R * T: * Peck xn 1899 having gone through Dr. Ralph into the !/. S. 
Sat. 'tu M ». r ,0 because of its rarity T value it core highly thm 
I otherwise should perhaps.
