Dear Mr. Brewster:— 
Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. have forwarded to le your 
commnication with regard to revising the vroposed new edition of 
The Land and Game Birds of New England and I note that, to do it 
properly, you feel you ought to make us a charge of $100. ‘This is 
entirely satisfactory to me, especially in view of the fact that you 
so kindly undertook the work without comdensation when the last edition 
was issued. I feel, however, that,as my brother Charles personally 
superintended the last edition of the book, I ought, as a matter of 
courtesy to him, to consult him before undertaking a new edition. 
I exvect him back from Europe on Thursday and will bring the matter 
immediately to his attention and ask him to let you know definitely. 
I have no reason to suppose that he will not think as I do no the 
Matter, but I should like to consult his wishes. 
Yours truly, 
ro hi Se
