My dear Mir. Deane: 
Your letter of March 28 reached me some days ago, and I should 
have replied before but for the fact that I have been holding our 
‘Forest. and Stream§ hoping that Mr. Brewster would be here and I 
could explain some of the details to him in person. The volumes 
are returned by express today, and in my letter to him I have in- 
cluded a list of the missing mmbers. I regret exceedingly that our 
set is so imperfect, but it will show you how mech we needed the 
eerly volumes which Mr. Brewster has so kindly sent us. 
The volumes of the'Chicago Field' Mr. Brewster gave us some 
time ago are &, 9, 10, 11, and 12 from 1877 to 1880. 
Very truly yours,
