Mr. Wiliiam Brewster, 
145 Brattle Street, 
Cambridge, Mase. 
Dear Mr. Brewster;=- 
I believe you were the original discoverer of the heath hen as 
an independent species. This fact prompts me to appeal to you for help in getting 
up a good wash drawing of that species,for campaign purposes. I have looked 
through my bird books in vain for materiale from which an artist unacquainted with 
the species can turn out a satisfactory picture. In fact, the only picture that 
I did find is in Mr. Forbush's book,"Game Birds, Wild Fowl and Shore Birds"; but 
I would like something better,if anything is available. 
Can you help me to any photographs or pictures of any kind, as a loan, which 
I could place in the hands of my artist, ir. Edmund J. Sawyer, from which he 
could make a good drawing? I wish to reproduce the drawing for a campaign docu- 
ment that I intend to bring out just as soon as a heath hen picture can be made 
and engravad, 
I need scarcely assure you that I will greatly appreciate any help that it 
is in your power to give me at this juncture. 
Yours very truly, 
Wibovuada- i
