I cannot seo how the lette’" went astray as it has not been retur 
ned to me. I expect to visit the Avoset islands this coinin." 
Spring: and if ?/oii wonld care to place an o^der fo'^ a series 
I will do tny best to please. T always rive my customers the nriv- 
i 19^:3 of ratuminv any ev^rs at my expense if they are not as 
rep’^esented, so yon would really man no risk as I would not 
send if T were not sure they would be as "ood as stated. 
This year out of hundi^eds of nests examined T took several 
almost immacalate sets minning through eve'-’v possible ran^s of 
markinf^ to nearly black sets. I only take enouyh to fill orders 
with a few 0'^r9,^,a3 T do not believe in robbing the nests. I take 
a great interest in study,^i^jthe birds and only solicit orde'^s to 
help out with the somewhat . expense. The colonies change from year 
to year and sometimes it takes severa' days to locate them. They 
breed on lovi lying islands near Great Salt Lake but there are 
lund-^eds of the islands covering many miles in extent. 
If T have not already called your attention to them would say 
I have a very choice series of about l.b sets of Bvo’vers Spa’^row 
from which I could select say 10 sets which would rnaJce a fine 
addition to any cabinet. These are accompa-^ied by nests in every 
case --sets are of 3 and 4--I will send 10 sets of the best-- 
will guarantee safe delivery — for :|^6.00 vou to nay transportation 
whicli will not be more than *'1^/ or will send then prepaid for 
$6.75 T also have several nic
