relative to the preservation and killing of game. 
I think you know ite well enough to know that I am a 
believer in reasonable laws for the preservation of game, and 
their reasonable enforcement, but I have no compunctions of 
conscience when I go to Nebraska and legally kill a few Grouse, 
which costs me more than ten dollars for each bird killed, and 
bring home a half dozen and give them to friends, 
I do not see that you are likely to ever teste Grouse 
again, unless you go with me and kill then yourseif, 
Sincerely yours, 
Mr. William Brewster, 
Concord, 
Mass,
