William Brewster, 
145 Brattle Street, 
Cambridge, Mass. 
Dear Mr. Brewster;- 
The photegraphs have just arrived; and as you already know, 
they are very fine. As sure as the world stands, they will render useful service 
in the saving of the grouse of the West. A year ago I began to hold up the heath 
hen to the people of the West ae a fearsome example; and already I have shown lantern 
glides of the bird (made by Dr. Field), in twelve western states. This splendid 
picture of your heautiful pair of birds I will use as the frontispiece of my forth- 
coming sage grouse Bulletin, As far as my influence can go, these birds shall be 
credited to your colitection. 
I am very greatly indebted to you for your timely, prompt and splendidly 
efticient help in a matter that so me seems of importance. If my Bulletin dees not 
shake up the western legiglatures to a realizing sense of their unfitnese in their 
previous treatment of their grouse of varicus species, then it will be no fault of 
mine, 
Youre very truly, 
P, S, Since writing the above I have received your letter, and I surely will 
enclose copies of the three photographs. Please do not think that I have any exe 
clusive ownership in these pictures apart from you! They are as much yours as 
mine,- in fact, much more so! sa ie 
I will be very glad to have the data relative to these birde from their la- 
bels, for it is reasonably certain that yuur two birds will go down in history.
