Daar sir;- In accordance with instructions contained in your value: 
favor of the 26th.ult. T have made up and shipped by express 
"collect charges" to your Cambridge address, ?/our order as follows 
1/3 Long Billed Cxarlew. 
7 sets of Am.Avocet,showing greatest range of variation in markings 
and size in my collection. 
T charge ^^O.OO being for 6 sets Avocet of 4 eggs each at .25 / 
and fS.OO for the set of Curlew. I send one set l/3 Avocet 
"no charge" as they probably have no commercial valixe but I felt 
the set was needed to exhibit a type of which I had no l/4 sets. 
T have made a careful memoranda of the coloration and sizes and 
if possible will supply the balance of the se’^ies next year. 
The present lot are dissapointing to me but are the best that 
can be supplied this year and are in fact a good series of trie 
usual variations--the others will bo extraordinary sets in color 
and sizes.
