My dear Mr. Brewster: 
IT received by express this morning volumes 6-12 of the 'Chicago 
J g B 
Field‘, and volumes 1-6 of 'Rod, Gun and Kemel', accompanied by a 
note from Mr. Deane. I need hardly say that these volumes are great- 
ly appreciated as the 'Chicago Field' fills nearly half of the gap in 
our set. In rumning over the numbers preparatory to having them bound, 
I have already discovered several notes of interest, one of which 
throws some light on a celebrated game case which was tried in I1li- 
nois in 1880. This is merely an illustration of how useful these pub- 
lications will be for reference in our work. I wish that you had al- 
lowed me to send on franks, as the publications could just as well 
have come by mail and saved the expressage. 
Again tharking you for the contribution to our library, I remain, 
Very truly yours, 
In Charge of Game Preservation 
Mr. Win. Brewster |
