My dear Mr. Rrewster: 
I did not reach Washington until Saturday night, so that I had 
no opportunity to examine our set of 'Forest and Stream' until this 
morning. I find that our complete series begins with Volume 25. 
Of the first 24 volumes we have complete and bound onlys 
2 
Vola. 1, 2; Bp % Oy B 12 1B, and 16. 
Incomplete and unbound, 4 volumes: 
10 (lacking 3 numbers) ,22 (lacking one number), 23(lacking 
one number), and 24 (lacking 4 numbers). 
If I remember correctly your volume 23 also lacks one number; 
the only number we need is No. 7 for September 11, and if you happen 
to have this it will make our entire series complete. I would sug- 
therefore, that instead of sending us all of Volume 23, you 
simply send this one number. 
you kindly have the volumes sent by express (collect), so as 
their safe and prompt delivery? © Will you also send ten or 
a dozen of your book plates to insert in the volumes of the ‘Chicago 
a 
Fielé', which you kindly presented to our library some time ago?
