Dear Mr McLen rton 
A A 
As the peninsula se ms to be such an interestg 
place from a mammal point of view,and being Specially anxious 
to run this new "Striped Cat" to earth I would like to have 
a run up myself if possible about next Tune 
In the event of my being able to gst the time 
away I would like to know the probable cost of the trip out 
from Cooktown,for sgy six weeks in the fleld.working out in 
the Ranges and along the Alice River 2 
Indriess who is in Brisbane has not yet comme 
along,he expected to be in Sydney last month.I have heard. of 
the animal further south from another chap and expect that 
he will be able to take me out to where he got the beast,and 
I hope that beinginzthe vicinity a little careful shikari 
work combined with :trapping, poisoning and snaring will have 
Some chance of waylaying one of the xaxx elusive animals 
+ 
Sincerly yours
