Mr. Wiliiam Brewster, 
145 Brattie Street, 
Cambridge, Mass, 
Dear Mr. Brewster: 
A great fight is new being made in Iowa for the enactment of a 
five-year close season law by the legislature now in session, to save the quail 
and pinnated grouse from the extermination that threatens them, and incidentally 
te save quail and grouse shooting from becoming tetally extinct in that state. 
The quail bill has already passed the lower house on a basis of 61 to 32, but a 
hard fight against both measures will be made in the Senate by State Game Warden 
Hinshaw and a ceterie of confirmed bird-killing "sportsmen." 
The Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund is aiding the effort to save the 
quail and prairies chickens. The prairie chickens exist only as a rare remnant 
in the northern part of the state.

In a letter published in the Des Moines REGISTER of March 11, signed by 
Dr. L. F. Akers, sustaining and praising Hinshaw, you were named as “back of hin.” 
This is on account of the tact that you are a member of the Advisory Board of the 
American Game Protective and Propagation Association, coupled with the fact that 
uhe February issue of the "Bulietin” of that organization comes out strongly 
against close seasons for long periods for rutfed ,rouse, quail and other birds. 
The Bulletin says that “the eftorts of the persons who are endeavoring to secure 
close seasons for upland game birds should ve vigorousiy combated." This state- 
uent was written and published by mr. Quarles, Second Vice-President of the 
Association, and it stands unchallenged to this day. I have recently written te 
Mr. Burnhem, protesting against it. 
The telegram that I sent you last night was designed to give you an oppor= 
tunity to express yourseif to the editor of the Des Moines REGISTER in case you 
do not approve the use of your name that was made by Mr. Akers. It is my firm 
conviction that none of the wembers of the Advisory Board of the American Game 
Protective Association will deliberately endorse the position taken by Mr. 
Quarles in the February Bulletin. 
It may interest you to know that State Game Warden Hinshaw is exercised 
about these measures because he is afraid that if they are passed, tne revenue
