The other sets I trust '.vill meet v^ith yoiir approval both in 
data and prepa:”ation“thoush I have been exceedingly unfortunate 
this year in having ny bast eggs come damaged and with"immense " 
embryos. I worked for two whole evenings on that Vf.Jay set and then 
with poor results. If you would prefer to have a more perfectly 
prepared 
sat,typically colored 
I will 
gladly 
exchange 
it 
but in 
over 7 ye 
ars here I have never 
seen a 
set to 
compare w 
ith 
it. 
It was di 
ffieult to choose the 
series 
of Swai 
nsons out 
of 
so 
many fine ones and T hope my selection will be agreeable.They 
exhibit the range of coloration,markings and size fairy well in 
the series. 
All the eggs are sent on approval of both eggs and prices. 
The latter are not arbitrary although I have endeavored to place 
only a fair price consistent with authentic collecting and carefnl 
preparation. I employ tlSN to do my collecting and pay them good 
wages—in fact if it wore not for my love of the science I 
assuredly would not be in it for the financial consideration. 
As an instance I have spent $200. odd in getting the eggs of 
Clarks Nutcracker and figure that I am "otif'over $100. in so 
doing,and yet I cannot say that I begrudge the loss,but I shall 
hsrdly venture it again. 
V/ith thanks for your order, I am, 
Regarding Prairie Falcons and Ravens — the former v/as misqiioted as 
the set I took is jointly owned by another and has not bean devided 
I did not intend to quote it. The Ravens had been sold on a 
pre\'’iou3 order to Mr.J.P.Norris.
