Mr. N.W.porsey, Accountant.
Smithsonian Institution,
Washington, D.G.

Dear Mr. Dorsey:

Enclosed is my expense account for the month of July
including the part of the transcontinental trip fro* Tongan-
oxie, Kansas to Lagunitas, amounting in all to $216.24. 1
am including also salary voucher for Zenaida Aierriaan, Assistant,
month of July, ?135.00 which kindly pay as usual from the
Harriman Jj'und,

It seeins proper to tell jou that 1 am not well. A few
days after arrival iWent toSan Francisco to consult physicians
and learned that 1 was sufferin.p; from diabetes, which 1 have
doubtless had for some time. I was inmediately put to bed in
the University of California Hospital where i was under treat-
ment for exactly two weeks (at a personal expense of more than
1100). Kindly do not spread this information.

1 am now sugar free and expect to start on a field trip
in a couple days* I am on a diet and am taking insulin hypo-
dermically morning and evening.

'i'he doctors assure me that the disease will not shorten

my life or interfere with ny work as long as 1 continue proT>er
diet and insulin. On the contrary, they insist that in the case
of people past middle life.diabetes prolongs life, for the
reason that the diet is adjusted to oodily 'needs, and the disease
oft set by the insulin.

Very truly yours.

Have just returned fror a brief field trip in Sacra-
mento valley and adjacent Foothills, where the afternoon
temperature stood st 103 , falling suddenly just alter
midnight to 64 . w«s -^isc^'iraged by the aliiost total
absence of old indi.-is, many having died since last fall,
rhe end seerr.s almost at hand so far as obtaining additional
weterial on early culture, houndaries, and beliefs.

Dear ur Wetrore:

iJ'or a year or more i have been very
tired much of t>>e time, particularly the
latter part of t^e day. On arriving here
i went to ur Sterling iiunnell. ae found me
full of sugar and took m.e to i)r Shepardson,
a specialist in diabetes. Dr S.put me to'
bed same 'isj in Univ. Calif. Hospital .where
1 stayed two weeks. «as discharged "sugar
free"and pat on a restricted diet, with in-
sulin hypodermics twice a day.

This is both inconvenient and expensive
but there is no help for it. and i am vastly
better -and clearer in my head.

lour letter of June 18 was written a week before
i left Washington, and your fow-wow came off a week before we
reached California. borry 1 could not be there.

i am not very well and since coming; to California*
liave been laid up a couple of weeks in a Hospital in ban /rancisoo
nowever 1 am very much better now and am doing so«e fieldwork.

V/hen at Anderson last week 1 was amazed to be told
by Indians there (picking prunes; that uoUett was to be there the
next night, still calling for money. A young man from Oakland,
apparently in Collett*s employ, was there making arrangments for
the meeting. 1 don't know his name.

1 have been told that oollett-s trial will not be
>ield till late in the year and that he is out on 4)500 bail.

borry the copy i sent you of the neport of the
institute for (iovt. nesearch on The n^oblem of Indian Administra-
tion failed to reach you. Am sending another by f^is mail.

1 expect to see you before the season is over.

My dear Miss Migman:

tlianks for your letter of August 27. 1 am
very friad to learn that you hare Beard Hulsey uill sing Ms
tribal songs, and that you appreciate them. i regard it a
calamity f^at i was not able to preserve them.

1 will transmit your suggestion to Dr jiroeber,
head of f^e uopartraent of Anthropolo?^ of t^e university of
California; he nay be able to send someone to try to get the
old songs. rhe bmithsonian probably would not be able to
send anyone so far.

une thing: i wish you would tell in e how nulsey
feels about the book; i have often wondered.

And is the road in to the iiend any better than
when 1 last drove over it several years ago?

Very truly yours.

uear uoctor Kroeber:

the enclosed letter from wellie aig'oan, sohool
teacher at cig jjend. explains itself, fossibly you may
have some properly equipped person whom you might deem it
worth while to send up there to try to get the songs.

1 began a letter to you several months ago but was
unable to finish it for the reason that 1 am still at work '
on the classification of the Wintoon tribes. Hope to have
the thing ready in the very near future. The chief difficul-
ty is ^*|^^|hj^nj»Jjelat'ire. Jror years i have had plenty of
vocabuUries ^except for the xehama-otony ureek region, repre-
sented by those 01 raylor. Brown, and aeddin^.

•I'he pressing question is as to the best way to group
into "tribes- the so called "tribes" of the Indians themselves.
Linguistically, these present of course varying degrees of dif-
ference,but each occupied a considerable area with very definite
boundaries, and each had a considerable number of villages.

My dear Atiss bnell :

*rwo or three years ago you reoommended iiargaret
Garvel for the position of otenographer-Assistant. 1 took
her to washinp^ton. bhe proved a failure , wot that she was
lacking in brains, but because she had interests of her own-
literature and music— and was utterly unwilling to bother to

fit herself for my work^

i am wondering if you know of anyone now whom you
can recommend r My work is in anthropology and general natural
history. J^he should know something along one of these lines—
or at least feel an interest in soology or botany— and should
have done some research work, if not more than searching the
literature for exact references.

lou once mentioned miss iherese L>eokwithc is she

available nowr

a x'ew days ago i was surprised to learn from Indians
in the northern part of oaoramento valley that r.u.uollett is
still Tisiting Indians for the purpose of getting more money.
I am told that he is out on 500 dollars bail.

i was very glad to see you again, and if I have good
luck will try to go up there again before the season is over.

Your nif^ht letter from Uannel awaited my return
from a field trip among Indians in the northern part of the
state, you say you have no shorthand. i had written Mrs
Snell that 1 was in search of a stenographer-secretary.
Otherwise your education and training seem admirable.

You be,,an shorthand early in the year. Did you
give it up? Or are you still going on with it?

I am away in the field a few days at a time every

iiy dear toiss Kusaell:

Thanks for your letter of yesterday, ttis moment
recieved. lou say nothing of stenography-my chief need. But
your work in paleontology and general natural history would
otherwise furnish an excellent foundation for my work, which
at present relates rcainly to Oalifomia indians.

I ara very weary of training assistants in the various
lines on which 1 m engaged, including iny personal requirements
in the wav of details-for 1 am an old man and rather "set" in
try own ways. Therefore would not care to -take anyone with an
other objective in view for the near future.

The salary 1 try to scale according to reiults-by
which I mean value to me. i usually begin at $125 to ^150 per
ironth and work up if the assistant proves sufficiently helpful.

Very truly yours.

Dear Mrs. Uhilberg:

Pardon me please for keeping your

manuscript of Francisco's story of Ms people so
long -since Sept. 14. My daughter Zenalda and 1 haTe
been on the go visiting varioua tribes of Indians
from near Colusa to near Kount Shasta, and in the
mountains on both sides of Sacramento Valley, in
search of fragments of information lacking in mj
notes. And we have been successful.

I have read every word of Francisco's
several most interesting chapters about the early
history of his people and am fully convinced that it
is worthy of publication. But a good deal of hard
work is needed to prepare it for the press. It should
be carefully edited, and explanatory footnotes should
be added in a number of places. And furthermore, it
should be compared with iJoscana's Chini^ohinif>h a
translation of which was published in iiobinson's
life in Ualifornia, 1846. Uj copy of this is in ■

Washington so I am unable to refer to it. I suggest
this as a matter of precaution, as it must of course
be referred to by whomever edits Jfrancisco's book.
The two accounts may havelittlein common, as Boscana's

" ""'ti'Jr ''^' ''"^ S"^ '^'^ Capistrano; com-
parison^may bring out interesting suggestions.

In reading your manuscript I was greatly
surprised at i'ransisco's repeated mention of U^sk
Indians. One cannot help wondering whether his
people really had any ancient tradition mentioning
this distant tribe, or whether-like some religious
Idsas-it came from infomation acquired laterv

It has been a privilege to read this
story and I trust you will be able to. bring it out
in such fom that it will prove of pennanent value
to ethnologists.

Uith kind regards to yourself and son,

plete the classification of several linguistic stocks, and ^
my daughter to finish for publication several much needed maps. ^

among ihe old peopleand the recovery from them of important bits
not obtained before. Knowing where they live, it has been nos-^
sible to visit a considerable number in a comparatively short
time* In some cases an hour has been long enuf to learn what
was lacking, and several rencherias have been visited in a single

Dear Mr Pittman:

Tour letter aiid eight photograph of a fine Porcapine

in the long hair of winter (forwarded from Washington) awaited
my recent return from field work among indiana in the northam

part of California.

i am keeping four of the photos and returning the
other four herewith, along with my check for eight dollatsin
payment for the pictures with right to publish-in case I Uto '

Were the long hairs conspicuously jflUffl? 1 assume
that they were and that the species is the .Western lellow-haired

Porcupine ,

I have had many interesting experiences with these

stupid slow-moving beasts, and have a few good photos of them.

Ir. Seymour P. Smitli , ,.„
Stanford University, Calii.

Dear Mr. Smitli;

Tour letter of October 26tli awaited mj return from a

recent field trip.

I am much interested in your bear skull and the
photof^raphs you were kind enough to send me. 'Jlhe skull
evidently is of unusual size and appears to be of the very
best age to show its specific characters -being neither too
young nor too old. Younger skulls are preternaturally arched,
while older ones are flattened, lours shows the characters
of the species to best advantage.

I am glad you are willing to part with this skull and
shall be glad to give you $15 for it. although except in very
exceptional cases I quit purchasing skulls several years ago.
Tou may be interested to know that I have placed in the
Kationil Museum, without expense to the museum, more than
two thousand bear skulls- a larger number than exists in all
of the' museums of the world put together.

My tables of measurements of skulls of big bears are
in Washington so that I am unable to compare the measarenents
you have given with those of specimans measured by me. It is

obvious, however, that yours is one of the largest and may
prove to be the largest. However, with me. size does not
count so much as the general characters of the skull.

I am much interested in the habits of these big bears,
particularly with reference to their readiness to attack man
even when not wounded. Any detailed information you are able
to give along this line would be thankfully received. Also
details as to food habits.

I an obliged also for your offer to obtain additional
specimans next year in case you return to Alaska. I am always
glad to secure additional bear skulls and there should be
little trouble in obtaining the necessary permit from the
Biological Survey.

Please pack the skull with sufficient wrapping to
protect the teeth and zygomatic arches, and send by express (*U»je,,.^ut)
boxed and addressed: U. S. Biological Survey, Washington, D. C.,
writing your name at the top of the address so that it will be
noted by the person who opens the box. Kindly attach a tag to
the skull giving the locality and date of kimn'^'^hat the
sex is male goes without saying as shown by the photographs.
Skulls of the female are much smaller and the braincase much
less highly arched.

I am returning to Washington this week. My personal
address is 1919 Sixteenth Street. Thanking you tor your
interest in the matter.

Very truly yours.

My dear Ur. Holzworth:

lour latter of July 5» addressed to the Biological
Survey^ was in due course forwarded to 117 house address in
Washington. At that time I was driving across the continent
bound for my summer base at Lagunitas.

I have just closed my field work for the season and
find your letter in a batch of mail forwarded from iiashington<
This will explain the unusual delay in replying.

The trip you are planning for next season to Admiralty
Island and Baranof Island interests me and I honestly hope
you may be successful in your efforts to photograph the big
bears. I should think that flashlight pictures promise good
results on some of the commonly used trails. I do not recall
that anyone has done this.

Permits for collecting specimens in Alaska are granted
by the Government Biological Survey, from which I resigned
eighteen years ago.

In order to obtain the bulletins you desire you had
better write to the Uhief of the Biological Survey at
Washington^ giving the titles of those you wish. Some of
these may be out of print. If so, please write me and 1 may

I i

be able to supplj copies from mj duplicates. In some
oases I can do this. In the case of others I have no
duplicates.

In looking the matter \:p in the Merriani Geneolcgy, written

bearing en your questions.

Your father ^3 riace, you tell me, vas Hi^rtweli. A Merriam
of that ri4i;i.c, son of Kathan lierriam, T?es born July 9, 1834. Hia
father, Nathan, was born at Prince ton March £1, 1791, and iLarried
Polly Brooks of Sterling ^pril 9, 1814. She died in January 183S
aiid in September the same year he .Tiarried Mary Louisa Nicholson.

Ihe only Sdwin I find (mthout additional initial) was
bom May 4, 1820 end died August 4 the following year, so that he
could not be the one tc whom you refer. There are nuB^rous Edwins
and Bdwards coupled \vith an additional initial.

Gardner Merriam, ^son of Nathan, was born July 3, 1828, and
in 185E Jierried LLry Jane, da lighter of Ijeniel and Hary Miles.
Gardner is said tc have had two childfen, both girls, Nellit
Gracia, bcrn April 10, 1858, and Kiiry Ann, born July 10, 1360.

Dear Mr. Dorsey:

Herewith I am handing you my accomits for the months
of October and November which I shall be obliged if you
will pqr as usual from the Harriaien Fund. ($673.31)

During the past season my daughter and myself have
driven the Dodge car more than 9000 miles, which will account
for the seemingly large expenditures for gas and oil. ?or
the past two years I have tried to have the car alemited
about eveiy three hundred miles and the oil changed between
four and five hundred.

Enclosed also is a voucher for ny daughter, Zenaida,
for services during the early part of October, amounting
to $36.00, check for which should be sent to her at
339 Washington Avenue. Santa n'e. New Mexico.

?eiy truly yours.

i)ecember 11. 1928

Dear iJoctcr wrinnell;

.On looking through my accumulated Washington mail I find a
number of separates of papers by yourself and assistants, for which
I am very much obliged.

Iftiile greatly pressed for tiine just now, I havo stopped long
enough to read your two papers-- one on ^The Presence and Abseng^
of Afiimals/; the other on ^Ili^Pr.OJiex Natut^l Balance of Wi^d yfA^
for our National Parks, and a^R pleesed :o feel that in the vast
majority of cases my perscnol views agree absolutely with yours.
Your treatment of the subject of presence and absence of animals
has given me special pleasure — in spite of your tendency to use
big wrds or terms with which very fenv of us are familiar.

The quantity of rational philosophical matter you have put
intc this paper is simply amazing. I suppose my delight in reading
it comes largely from the cir^unstsnce that you have expressed in
terse and unmistakable language a surprisingly large number of con-
clusions at Vihich I, in common doubtless with other field natural-
istSg h4.vi arrived, but have never put on paper. The essay
certainly deserves an impcrtsnt place u-nong treatises on geographic
distribution and general natural history, I congratulate you.

With kind regards to Urs. Grinnello

Very truly ypiiis,

Dear Sir:

For some time I have had it on ray conscience to write
you in reg^^rd to what seeins to be ^n indiscretion on the part
of one of your drjggists.

In the course of two of my most recent auto trips to
California, shortly after entering Boonville, I have been
waylaid by a man who signalled me to park my car in a .
particular place and stated that he would furnish detailed
information as to how to get out of the town, implying that
something was the natter with the road. In each case, he led
me into the drug store where he wrote on a large piece of blue
paper some utterly unnecessary directions. It turned out that
this was a blind, his sole object being to sell a dish of salve
purporting to be a remedy for Poison Oak, and so forth.

Inasrnuch as this sort of thing gives your town a black
eye, I felt it my duty to call it to your attention.

Very truly yours,

was the imposing array of red cliffs and mesas fronting the

to one of the ^ost glorious sunsets we have ever witnessed.

Dear Harry and Julia:

Please pardon our tardiness in acknowledging the
nany things you did for us during our brief visit tt
Twin Oaks Valley. The developments since my visit many
years ago were very impressive and I am sure that much
of the change is due to your own energy and foresi^t. *

On our way back we spent a day with Zenaida and her
husband at Santa Fe, where we were treated to a violent
thunderstorm in the midst of a snowstorm.

On reaching Washington we went to Florence's where
we stayed for a week while wanning and cleaning our own
house. So many thiiiga were pressing for attention that
I am far behind in all my work but hope to catch up in
the near future.

We certainly did enjoy our visit with you and look
forward to seeing you agiin next fall. With love to you

Unfortunately, I am suffering from a malady which :JL^i.
. it necessary to keep ray wai^i botwsen two points only four
pounds apart. It is, therefore, necessary for me to be
weired ever}'- day or sverj^ other day. For this purpose I have
sou^.t street and drugstore scales in a con^iaeratle :'u.::,bcr of
places in this city and I am simply appalled by the iiacrep-
ancy shown. In other words, the public penny -in -a -slot scales

in this city are in the Main Hii$£lZJiI^^J^^

A fair sample is enclosed herewith. The day before
Chjristnas (December 24) I weired on three scales in Kresge's
on G Street. The first one dropped no card at all. The second
and third dropped the enclosed cards marked Jocembor 22, '^ne
registering my weight as 142; the other Ijfi. My W6i^ic at the
time as determined by a Fairbanks nQ -spring scale wb3 liQ.

The numerous street scales which do not drop Uwi<eLa usually
show a variation of five or six pounds. If tliere is an^ -aw
requiring the correction of sudh. scales it would be a ^er.t
boon to auffsrsrs like ^nysslf who aro obliged to take c-hfcir

in Santa Pe to see Zenaida and her husband i'n their winter

quartora-a cute little adobe about the size of our living

Ysstorday was Christmas, the first one without a
Christmas tree in about thirty years.

I rm r6.markably ^ell and have been absolutely sugir-free

Ycu doubtless are as overworked as usual but I trust
you have been able to take a few days off for a little run
in the counti^'.

It has taken us most of December to clean up our
acrunralated second ^lass .'nail and get the house settled and
in sha^e for the winter's work which I m now beginning.

'iy dear Mr. ^laworth:

Thanks for your letter of the 21st instant along
with the ercellent photogra^s of two of your bear skullft:
one an old male, the other apparently a young inale of the
third or fourth year.

You tell ^e you got them on the Ocdtna and Black
Rivers in the interior of Alaska. I asaurae that Ocetna
is the saine as the Oshetim located by the Geolo^cal
•iurvey as one of the tributaries of the upper Susitr^
sop:e fifty uiles northevast of Chickaloon,

I should not care to risk an opinicn on the species
from ar^ GTarnination of these photocr-^^ although the
photographs are orcellent. The region from i»hich they
camo is one from which I have been hoping to obtain boar
skulls for a number of years.

It gop^ without saying that I am mi^ity gj^ad that
you are coming hero in the near future and that you will
show some of your motion pictures of these great ani^ls^
and let me assure you I shall be proud to possess the
enlarged photographs i^hich ycu kindly promise.
With best wishes,

dill'.h

My dear Mr. Smith:

Your letter from the hospital reached me duly and I was
very glad to hear from you. I am delisted to know that you are
going to write me something in recard to your field observations
during the past three seasons relating to the big Kadiak Bears
an aniTial concerning which I have the deepest interest.

I shall be greatly pleased to have a talk with Doctor Rich
if he is kind enou^ to call. I assa-ne that he is Dr. Melvin S.
Rich. '

I have eont the -araithsonian Institution the voucher for your
Karluk Lake Bear Skull, $20, to be paid fron the Harri^aan Fond.
This skull caiae duly ^d certainly is a monstfer and a great
addition to our collection. It is fully as big as the largest
old m.al9 I have-been able to secure up to the present time and
may prove to be sli^tly larger in some of its dimensiona. I
have not yet had time to measure it carefully but will in the
near future.

You have n^y sj-mpathy in connection with your recent hospital

experience. I have had several of these and have a oerq.nai
realization of how unstrung a -nan feels after J Lrinnf«^^ .-

With beet wishes.

Thaiim for your letter of the 3rd instant
replying to my inquiry in regsird to Trai± Stevens.

I am surprised that there is no record of his
employment in the Bureau until 1902 and 1903 for the
reason that he vas one of my Assistants on the
Death Valley Sxpedition in 1891. It other times
both before and after 1901 he was employed by me
personally in collecting mammals in various parts
of the West.

The effort to preserve as a national Park the only
humid tropical area in the Onited States with if interest-
i»g and, so f«r as our country is concerned, it. unique
fauna and flora, is eminently worthy of support. Ifahappily
some of the characteristic and beautiful birds of this
region are already believed to be extinct-such for instance
a» the Plamiqgo, the Scarlet Ibis, and the Caroli
and others are threatened with the same fate.
While from my point of view several of the

ina Parokeet—

areas recently

urged for National Parks fail to

measure up to the high

standards of the earlier of these splendid reservations, I
feel that the Florida tropical ares deserves a place «o,«
those most worthy of preservation.

independent of small salaries so that now you are able to carry

Dear Mr. PittMn:

lour letter of the 24th instant^ enclosing five
photographs, has just arrived. I do not care for the
Indian clay pot because I am not dealing with such material
so far away from California. I am retaining the two
photogrs{rfis of Snowshoe Rabbity and one of the Least Weasel,
and retumipg herewith the clay pot and the other least
Weasel.

A check for these at $2.00 each, amounting to $6.00,

Dear Dootor Butler:

You have a long memory to recall that a quarter of
a century ago your University offered me the honorary
degree of Doctor of Science, and I appreciate the spirit
that prompts you to renew the compliment for the coming
Commencement injuria.

In declining the original offer I mentioned the fact
that I em nlmost alveys engaged in field vwork in California
at the time of your Commencements. To be perfectly frank
however this was only one of two reasons that led me to
decline. The other Is that I have never had any particular
interest in degrees, particularly the decorative honorary
kind; and I have alrays felt a distinct repugnance for the
practice of wearing gowns and flat-topped hats on the
occasion of the conference of such degrees. On the sas^
grounds I have declined similar tenders of degrees from
several other Universities. Nevertheless I fully appreciate
your courtesy in the matter.

With best wishes,

Very truly yours.

Hy dear Mrs. Young:

Your letter of the 16th instant hae arrived and I am very

glas to hear from you.

There are pome thirds one does not like to talk about,
especially in a letter. One of these is the Rev* P. G* Collett.
Sons years ago I believed in him and supported him, although I
always felt that he was doing wrong in solicitiri,'5 money from
Indians. The Government of the United States, tot the Indians
of California, is responsible for the loss of lands and the
resulting poverty of California Indians, for vhich reason it
is clearly the Government's business to reimburjce the Indians.

is you know, the Raker Bill as modified by Congressman Lea
was passed by the last Congress, was signed by the President,
and is now a law. The Goverrjnent, in connection with the State
of California, has undertaken to carry its provisions into
effect. No money from Indians is needed and none will be
accepted, the matter being in the hands of the Governor and
Attorney General of California.

Collett *8 continued activity in soliciting money from
Indians is not only wholly unnecessaiy but obviously is a
personal matter on his own account and has nothing whatever to

125

do with the case. You are probably aware that he is under
indictjnent for fratdulent solicitation of money and is said to
have paid $500 bail.

lou say. speaking for the Indians: "What we want is a
▼oiee in the question." Don't you see that it is too late to
talk in this way, the law having been already passed and now in
force? It is the business of the Attorney General to aaoertain
as closely as possible the eroount due thf, lni{\^^. He has
distinctly said over and over again that in doing this he does
not want and will not accept any Indian's money.

What has beoome of the many thousands of dollara oollMted
by Collett in recent years from the poor Indians of California?
You say: ^e are going to present our case even thought we
are forbidden tc «o so.- I fear you do not quite understand
what you are sayiiig. The Case of tha Calif om^« ^^jfyiB baa been
presented in Oongress year after year for a number of yearw. It
has been considered by both Houses of Congress and haa been
decided. And the fixing of the amount due Califomia Indians has
been pieced by Congress in the hands of the State of California,
to be determined by the Attorney General of your State— so you
appear to have been misled in thinkii^ that pomething still
remtins to be done by the Indians,

You know that for a number of years I have spoken on behalf
of California Indians before coianittees of Congress (both in the
House and the Senate) so you surely know 7*iere I stand in the
matter, and know also that I would be the last person in the

8.

127

wrld to attempt to deceive a California Indian,

I em glad to know vfoat you tell me about lira* Granti-^that
ahe iff living at Somes Bar near her dau^ter Mra, Langford*
Please give them both my kindest regards. I earnestly hope
to see you all during the coming season* I have had this hops
for several years past but have been prevented partly by illrsst
and partly by the time required for work in other pprts of the
State.

Dear Mr. Grant:

Some time ago you wrote ne about Bear Skulls^ addressing
me at Santa Boss, a flourishing little city about forty
miles north of my country place at tagunitas. Inyhow the
letter finally turned up in a batch of acciaiulated mail from
Lagunitaa,

But I canU answer your question as to the value of a
California ^izzly Skull. So far as known California Grizzlies
are extinct for ?*iich reason skulls are valuable, but how much
one might be worth would depend upon how badly the would-be
purchaser wanted it^and also to a considerable extent on the
condition of the specimen. $100 in my judgment would be a
very long price — much more than I could give.

Tou ask the date of the last authoritative appearance of
the California Grizzly. This is hard to answer, but the latest

CVvt

unquestioned Grizzly kill I know of was^^shot at Horse Corral
Meadows in the High Sierra in iugust 1S22 by Jesse B. Agnew.

heartily. It so happens that although I am on a highly

' Thank you also for the photographs you kindly sent.
Can it be that the Francisco of these pictures is the one

supposed him to be a much older man. He seems to be in
his prime. It is good that you have obtained two more of

Dear Mr. Abbott:

Last October you wrote me in regard to the ownership
of the type specimen of Myotia califomicag pallidug
collected and described by Prenk Stephens. I replied
that I iwould look the matter up upon returning to fashington

I find that the specimen is entered in the Rational
UuseuB catalog as Ro. 99829 U.S.Hational Museum, Biological
Surrey Collection.

I find also that exactly the same record was made by
P. Stephens himself in his published description entitled
'Dftacriptions of Two New Mananals from Sou
published in the ProoeedJEgs of the Biological Society of
flash icg ton. Vol. 13, p 153, June 13, 1900. y

This would seem to settle the matter of oroership—V^'
Stephens was employed regularly by the Biological Survey in
our work in the Death Galley Region in 1890-91 and was
employed by m at various times both before and after, and
at various dates for a number of years I purchased specimens
from him, all of vhich are permanently preserved in the
Biological Survey Collection of the Hational Museum.

If you heve any other photographs of either of these bears I

You gave us a great treat in showing the moving pictures
you took of Big Bears on Adjriralty Island. I doubt if today
there is any other place in the world, unless it be on some^^of
the less visited Alaska islands, where bears are so plentiful
and where they would permit such near approach.

Uj deer Mr. Holsworth:

les the leica Camera caoeatt right and I am greatly .
obliged for your attention in the matter. The camera i. .ore
complicated than any 1 have been used to, but I feel that I a.
now getting the har.g of it. 1 have taken one rt,ll and had xt
developed this afternoon and though not quite dry have 3^t
examined it. Much of it is excellent and the balance tell.
m much in the mj of proper exposure and time.

1 shall be very glad to keep the canera.and in about •
week will have a check for the amount (^0.67) sent you from
my account in the Smith? oni an.

The main difficulty 90 far has been in finding any
photographer in this city who was willing to develop the film
in time so I could see it promptly. 1 was surprised to learn
that the iastman Company and several other concoms here send
their films to Baltimore or Rochester to be dsyelcpad and

¥y dear Mr. Holzworth:

I shell be mighty glad to see the pictures you
mention of the two bears, end also shall hope that your
expectation of receiving additional skulls fit»m the same
region n,ay be realized. It is. easy to describe a species
from one specimen but #ien others come in from the same

region our first conclusions are sometimes shattered.

By this I do not mean that I have sny doubt as to the

validity of your species. At the same time it would be

comforting to have additional material.

Very truly yours,

If credence is te be placed in the rumors afloat in
the Haaeim you hsve the start of m by about a year.
SoBSequeatlv you are open to congratulations.

It i« a long time since first vfs met-just how long
I do not remembep-but I do rajnenber that at that time you
i»e» held up to Be as ii^ great authority an Building Stones.
Precious Stones, and Gems. Since thsn it has leaked out
that these things. v*ile important mi Taluable, are never-
theless a very small part of yor.r field cf achierement. as
attested by your numerous and valued publications on
Meteorites and in the general field of Geology.

Ihile in the scheme of the unirerae I^cks end Mice bars
little in common, it is none the less true that norkers in
one field gradually come to recognize and respect wbrkers in
other fields. It is for this reason that I make bold to
express my appreciation of the wrk you have dene end my
admiration for your perseTerance and acoomplishment.

Trustipg that we both may tread the sacred aisles of
the Rational Museum for years to come, and with best wishes.

Hjr dear Sir:

Your letter of Pebruaxy 19 has just reached ne* I had
intended to see you last aummer but was taken sick end had to
go to a hospital in San ^'rancisoo. 1 am fairly well now and
shall try to see you next sunmer.

In reply to your questions, will say that last fall Collett
was again asking Indians for money but I don't think he got
much. He tried to make the Indians believe that the money wss
needed to carry on their case. As a matter of fact the Lea Bill
providing for the settleirent of (jovomnent obligations to
California Indians wes passed by Oongress a year ago and is now
a law. Congress placed the matter in the hands of the Attorney
General of California who is now at work on the case. When he
learned that Collett was asking the Indians for money to employ
lawyers, the Attorney General published a letter in a number of
California newsp^ers telling the Indians that no money from them
was needed and that none would be acceptad, as the State had
undertaken to attend to the matter.

About a year ego tho^ Senate appointed a committee to

investigate Indian matters. This oonmittea visited parts of
California last year. Thev want to find out ifcether tha
Indian Office is treating the Indians right.

1 want to express wy appreciation of the public

service you are doing in j.ublishing Miss Oonnolly»a
letters on the Indian situation.

It is full time that cxet people were made aware
of the pitiful <Jondition of most of the remnants of
mny of our Indian trlVr- There n>uU seem to he no
good reason for Keeping the puhlic in Ignorance of the
way our Indians ha^ro tv^n, and in some cases still are,
treated by the Governwent. For years it has been
obvious to 80 HE of us that the Indian Bureau, instead
of protecting the Indians, has done all in its power
to "protect" the Govern-T^ent froir fulfilling its

obligations to the Indians.

My dear Mr. Harrington:

The book on Lovelock Gave by yourself and L. L. Loud
reached me a few dajs ago snd has given me a great deal of
pleasure. It certainly is a monumental addition to existing
knowledge of the archeology of the Great Basin and is so
ccmpletely illustrated by diagram, photographs, and maps
that little is left to the desired.

While I have not yet been able to visit the Cave I
have dene a good deal of work in western Nevada, both north
and south, particularly among the bands of Piute and Shoshone
Indiana, and have collected a few mortars and pestles but have
not attempted to dig into ancient deposits.

To me the basketry is enormously interesting and it is
a-groot satisfaction to see that ycu have published so many
excelleiit illustrations. Ths plaque shown on Plate 30 is a be^s
and represents a type widely different from any made in recent
times, suggesting, if I remember correctly, one or two from
southern ntah pictured by Pepper some years ago. The water
3ug shown on plate 67 is a type new to me.

Your suggestion that you might some time whip the
whole thing into shape and publish it as a brochure" strikes
me 88 admirable, end I hope you will do this not only because
of the time you spent in preparing it but also because of its
value to other workers.

I am particularly interested in Arguello's route and
TOspeot that you allowed him to go too far north. I have
l\cated a number of the rancherias he visited in Sacramento
V6ley and two or three in the region between Russian River

near ftiino *ich in Redding 's time was a well known village

Dear Mrs. Sheldon:

Murie has just been here and «e have gone over the
McKinley Peric map without nuch result. He gave me the
location of one of She Men's cabins, hut did not know about
the other although he saw another one which I imagine must
have been the 1906 cabin^ He did not know the features to
whiah Sheldon applied the following names:

Cabin Divide
Cabin Peak
Cabin Creek
West Pork Toklat
Bear Draw
Intermediate Kange
Outside Range

Outside Miuntain
Bast i^ranch Range
Camp Mountain
Old Camp Mountain
Caribou Camp
Bam Mountain
Porks Mountain
Polychrome Ifountain

He is inclined to agree with roe that the stream called
by Sheldon West Pork Toklat is Stony Creek on the Geographical
Survey maps.^ He agrees with us that Karsteus is likely to be
the only man who knows Sheldon's use of the geografhic names
in his journals end manuscript.

tould say that I a. delighted to know that
a popular edition of your Ul*^ of AB^walft
is to be published in the not distant future.
But as to printers errors or changes of any
kind I have nothing to say for the reason
that owing to extreme pressure of unfinished

the work carefully and no memoranda whaterer

Dear professor Cattell:

Eoplying to your re^iuest of the 27th instant'
1 regret tc feel it necessarj to decline to write an
obituary notice of Robert Eidgway. .hem I had known for
60 years. I used to feel it a duty to write appreciative
notices of co-workers in science with ^om I had been
rather closely associated, but the number of these who
hove died in recent years has made it impossible for
roe to keep up the custom.

I am completely over^elmed by a mass of unfinished
■«>rk representing half a century of exploration and study,
and consider it a duty to prepare fcr the press as much of
it a. practicable ;,hile still eble to do so. You may not
realize that I passed my 74th birthday some months ago.

I had none at the time but have since had some taken and am

Stanford University, Calii.

My dear Mr. Smith:

Pardon my delay in acknowledging your most interesting
comnunication relating to the Great Kadiak i^ear. ojoecially
as you have observed him in the Karluk Lake region. You
have made an interesting contribution to our knowUlge of the
habits of the largest of our carnivorous msramals.

1 knew that these bears often niade their beds in the grass
near the salmon streams but 1 did not knov. that they dug holes
like those you describe to curl up in after eating. It is
interesting also to know that these bears swim to an island in
Karluk Lake in order to get salmon berries.

Prom your observations it seems obvious that these big bears
do not come out of hibernation iji ordinary years before the
early pert of Msy, and that they remain out until about the end
of Septem>^er--in other words that their activities are conf i aod
to about five months. I assume that the indistinct tracks on
the beach of Karluk Lake seen April29 were made the previous year

The double row of tracks you mention evidently are ^iwilar,
if not identical, r.ith thcs /observed by ms en tlic ncr^h sh-rt
of Kakutat.

Thanking you for all this information, and with best wishes,

Very truly yours.

We thenk you for the tuni you took around our ranch at:

except for insufficient rfdnfall — 'ivhich happily was being
alleviated, according to your letter.

We are glad also that you hare ac;iuired a new ^^gasoline

prematurely or often. I fully sympathise with and 'Approve your

Your trip to Sstero Limsntour reminds me of a h^^cne d'^ive I

took there many years ago when acquiring a collection of mammals

afternoon and on t'^o occasions ha? ventured down stairs to
the dining room, but with such injurious result that she
did not try it again yesterday or today*. The determination
to come do^^n was due to the arrival of Dorothy, Heniy, and
the t^?o kids. They drove down from Cambridge and expect to
roturr. in about a week.

The 3uropean maples throughout the city are now in full

lly dear Mr. Carew:

Tour letter without date reached me two or three weeks ego.

The copies of Touring Topics you were good enough to send me
came some time before and are most attractive. 1 am obliged for
them.

You ask me to reconsider my refusal to be interviewed for
the purpose of an article about myself, flbe reasons you give for
this series of articles — the high standing of the men already
noticed, and the fact that the articles are to be published in
book form — relieves them of the odium of ordinary newspaper articles,,
according them a dignity that places them in a different class.
This leaves me on the fence.

But right here I feel compelled to say that I can not under-
stand how anyone can write a proper obituary of a person he does
not know personally find reasonably well. It seems to me that the
author of contributions of this sort should really know the man
he is talking about and should know his workshop and habits.

With thanks for your kind interest, and best wishes^

I want to expres? my gratification that you are

This prompts me to inquire as to how much
knowledge of species of animals and plants is actually
possessed by these graduates — it being obvious that in
order to carry on intelligent field work in locating
the several life 'icnes it is imperative to know in

zone but to be able to recogni'^^ these species in the
field.

I should be glad to know the names and addresses

Dear Mr* Graves:

Vei7 many thanks for your letter of April 24 and for
your courtesy in sending roe a cppy of your recent took entitled
lore and Legends of the Kl^mth KiTOr Indiapg.- 1 have read
most of it witli a good deal of interest. The tales stike me
as of /ery unc«^ual value, some having the appearance of the
story as told hy an individual Indian; others as mere or less
amplified end interpreted, possibly from accounts from different
Indians. It is regrettable that you did not in each instance
mention the tribe fron vj-hich the story ^as obtained. For
instance, I do not find information as to whether the story
of gd-witch-me is from the Karuk or the lower river tribes.

It is unfortunate al?o that in your picture of a Karuk
basket raaker on page 66 the baskets shoTO were not restricted
to those made by this tribe — one at least comii^ from as far

off as Arizona.

in which

I am reciprocating with a copy of
1 trust you may find ^one thing of interest.

To me the meet anazing fact is the striking resemble/ice
of £d-^itch-uie to the llodesse story of g-df-ohe-we. llhile the
two are quite different in detail nevertheless the resanblence»

Please pardon my delay in acknoviledging your recent
letters. I have been under vei7 severe pressure in the
effort to finish going oyer the Sheldon book before next
Thursday the 23rd. end therefore have had to set aside

practically everything.

Doctor Bell is a very busy man and I have only today
succeeded in getting him on the phone. le have agreed on
an appointment for Tuesday the 21at to attend to the
necessary photographing of the bear skulls at the Museum.

lour suggestion that Admiralty Island be set aside as
a game refuge for big bears strikes me as admirable. I
doubt veiy much if there is another place in the whole
wrld where so msny big bears -grizslies end browns-
congregate along the streams during the salmon run and
where the area is of so little comma rcisl importance.

The date of my going to California is still uncertoin
but we hope to get off before the lOth of June.

I greatly appreciate what you are doing in regard to

the reason that Mtural^objects^m^^ have

never appealed to my sense of the beautiful.

And don*t you think you are a little hard on
the magnificent big trees of the Calaveras grove to
say: "^The Calaveras grove has been forgotten by the
traveler^?

Tou have been doii^g such fine things since you
came to the Yalley that the points mentioned give me
a distinct shock.

My deer Mr. Holzworth:

llhen I wrote you on May 18 I had no idea that the
remsinins work on the Sheldon manuscript wuld take so long,
hut I have continued on it without any let up until an hour
ago when I took it with accompanying illustrations to the
express office to go to the expected publisher vfho, I
understand, is to have an interview on the subject tomorrow.
This is all I can say in the way of apology for not

writing you earlier.

However, 1 don't imagine that this has caused you any
annoyance as the photographs you wanted of the three bear
skulls were made a week or more ago and sent you direct by

Doctor Bell. •

I- shall now arrange to publish the description of

T]r»nfl holzwadhk in the near future and will have euou^
seoarate'' printed so that you may be able to send copies to
u ^f your friends as you wish to be informed in the matter.
The more I think about your suggestion of setting aside
Admiralty Island as a refuge for big besrs, the more impressed
J JJ0 with its desirability.

I earnestly hope that your forthcoming trip will
prove a great success and that you will pecure a fine
lot of pictures of the big bears to add to the wonderful
series you obtained last year.

please give my kind regards to Hasselborg and tell
him that if I were younger 1 would surely see him in person.

My address from the middle of June until some time in
October will be Lagunitas, ilarin County, California.

I am glad to know that Hulsey Bill is in better

Yesterday I turned in to the 2ditor of the Biological

the article describing Ursus holziworthi. Doctor Eichmond
promises to send me proof "before I go to California
(atout the end of the week) and I will leave directions
to have 25 copias sent you ae soon as issued. If you
wish a larger number let me know at once so that they may
be printed with the others, as the type is distributed
immediately afterward.

Doubtless your mounted type of this bear is making
quite a hit as a loan to the Heads and Horns Collection
of the Raw York Iloological Park.

In regard to the moving picture machine, please do
not take aiy trouble on my account as I shall be too busy
to use it for ?ome weeks after reaching California unless
1 happen to learn of an Indian ceremony, which is hardly

Dear Mr. Stewart;

Please donU infer from my long delay that I do not
appreciate your letter of April 1 in regard to the Ochamaneey

and so on.

Your si^gestion in regard to the township plats of the
General Land Office I acted on some years ago. I have found
two very serious obstacles to the use of these maps. One is
that in those I hcve had » the nsFies of mountains and streams
are rarely given. And furtheimore the streams rarely match
up on two adjoinifig plats. Most of those that I have attempted
to use were made a very long tim^e ago. I suppose they are doing

much better now.

Thanks for the photo of the very curious pictograph

enclosed in vour last letter.

Mrs. Kerriam fell and broke her knee cap a vihile ago
and her right leg is still in the plaster cast. This makes
tra/eling very difficult. Nevertheless we are expecting to
go to Lagunitas next week and I shall surely make an effort
to f^ee you and Mrs. Stewart durirg the season.

With kindest regards to you both,

Dear 3octor Priestley;

Again I must apologize for long delay in replying to your
last letter and in thanking you for your kindness in sending
me the proof of your articles on Franciscan ^ploration of
g$lifornia. My only excuse is that 1 have heen continuously
swamped for months in editing a "book for a friend who died
last fall.

Only today hare I hsd time to look at the proof of your
matter relating to the Arguello ^ipedition of 1821 (Galley 35).

On Gclley 36 (see Slide No. D-d^) Capay is given as
opposite Chico. is a matter of fact it is about 75 miles
south of CLico. The Iccation is importaut. heii^ hoth an
Indifn name and also that of a preseat day ^«hite village.
Cor u is Colusa, Sunus ^vas an old Indian village at parrot
Landing on Sacraniento "^ivcr north of Jacinto.

Now %e come to the most important placa mentioned in
the narrative, namely Oheno , the northernmost point reached
by the Argue llo ^:spedition and the point from which they
turned west. You incline to follow Bancroft in piecing Cheno
at T^ed Eluff. Cheno was an Indian village near Munros^s Eanch
Jliunrc e n lie * ) near the junction of Stony Creek mth Sacramento

?

H.I.P.

/^

Hiver and therefore about 40 miles south of I?ed Bluff.

West and south of this the village names are badly
mixed, but the f^ct that the Expedition recognized the
Hussian colony snd mentioned the rancherias Libantiliyame
La few miles northeast cf Sebastopol], and Oleyomi [5 miles
south of Petaluma] shows where they were on the latter
part of the home journey.

Here\\ith I am retaming ycur proof, with many' thanks
for your courtesy in sending it. I only regret that
owing to great pressure I have been unable to examine other
parts of it.

I expect to reach Lagunitas in about a week and hope
to see you in person during the season.

Dear Doctor Borden:

Tou will be glad to know that Mrs. Merriair made the trip
as comfortably as could be expected and that ilenaida met us with
our car at Oakland so t>at we crossed the rerry and drove to our
place without any other change.

In chan^in^^ position she has hurt the knee once or twice but
we feel that nothing; serious has occurred.

In Chicago we made a very interesting and rather important
discovery, le had wired for a w'^eel chair but on entering the
Union Station were let by three men with a litter. They took
Urs. Uerriam for sone distance to the outer part of the station
where she was transferred to a wheel chair and wheeled to the
Uhica.?o and Northwestern Station and was taken in ari elevator to
the hospital rooms upstairs where s>>e was lifted into bed and
remained for six hours and was then taken down to the train with-
out f irt^er chanq^e till we arrived at the Oakland side of the
San Francisco Jferry. The important thing we learned is that
there is a small hospital in both the Union and Northwest em
Stations for the free use of such patrons of the road as may require
medical or sur^^ical attention.

Next door to t>^e >>osi:)ital rooms is a small restaurant where

■4m

needed nourishjnent may be obtained at modetste cost.

I was told that most of the railroads now have hospital
facilities at t>eir important terminals.

With thanks for your kina attention, and best wishes
to yourself and family.

lour letter of the 18th instant forwarded from Washington
reached me a few minutes ago. I am very glad to hear froo you
and to know fliat 311 en has reaohed the age of 14 and that
J5nmy is 11— all of which goes to show how old I must be!

Very iiany thanks for the excellent photograj* of Arabella
and C^srles.

You montion yoar brof^ier as livii%? near me, but you do
not mention his name or say where he lives. I assume however
that you refer to Washington rather than Lagunitas.

1 hope to drive along Trinity xiiver this suiamer and if
so shall sarely call on you.

. A year ago I was obliged to go to a hospital for about

a month, and during the present spring my wife has twice been

taken to a Washington hospital in an aKbulance. Both tines

owing to an irjury to her right knee. The last time her knee

cap was broken across and the fragments separated more than an

inch. The bones were drilled and drawn together and the leg
onoioEed in a plaster oast, whiuh is still on^ so that she has
to Mse cratches and cannot step up. lie hope however that the
cast nay oe reriovea within two or three weeks and that she
Will be able to walk again.

With love to Ellen, and the ether children, and kindest
rajijcrGs to yoxrself.

Very truly vours,

iiffy, V»9

Dear Vernon:

Tour letters of the 24th and 26tli came yesterday and
<ain mighty glad to hear from you and also to have the
brief vocabulary you were kind enoa^.h to take of the
Hftvasupai people. And I am obliged to Barbara for copy-
ing it so nicely*

But there are some things in the way of spelling and
pronunciation that are not clear to me. i?or instance,
when you write wa^^kse ^ do you sound the a as in hay or as
in J2at, or do you ^ivo it the aJi sound? Similarly when
you write saquata for chat ^ do you mean sahkwata or does
the a "Have its alphabetic sound (as in day)? And what
sound do you have in iiiind when you write cul-cu? Do you
give fi. ^ere the sound of ji or of k*? '^'1^7 ^ot write kV^ 1
never use s, except in connection with the sHi sound, as in

chat .

And 1 have no idea how you pronounce hein. 11 e
Ant>^ropologists would translate it !^a-en but 1 have a
suspicion that you meant hin as in pine.

leu write woman goin and widem. I assume that the SL

should be j^. Girl you write mischeh, I suppose you have
in mind the misseh.

/or fox you give oatbarda and in parenthesis cooort.
I would be sure of the sound if you wrote katharda and
takoii.

Some of these naces are followed by the wotfl bela>
^at does this mean?

Anyhow the words are useful for comparison with those

of other languages thou^;h I ^^y^ ^^^ ^^^ .^^^^ the proper

sound for water, whiuh you write Mf leavin^^, the sound of a

Some time when you think of beginning a word with Sd
try kw; see if it isn't easier to read.

I certainly envy your last trip and also the trip you
are now making. Ibere are lew parts of the world I would
rather see.

Hope jou are getting good series of the small nammals
of the Kaibab country. If so you will be able to describe
several new things and to write a most valuable report.

It is a great pity that your mail is handled so poorly
at jrand Oanyon. Evidently you have not received more than

Yesterday a doe and large spotted fawn walked slowly
alon,^ on the east side of our house and crossed our road
below. Country unusually green for the season owing to
abnormally late rains.

JSlizabeth is doing well bat of course has more or
less pain in the knee and cannot step without crutches.
We hope the cast may be removed in two or three weeks—

Mr. H. J. KoeUer
Bloomfieia, Mw Jersey

Uj dear Mr. Koehler:

Pardon mj long delay in replying to your letter
of May 8 about the Big Bear of Labrador, supposed to
be a form of the Barren Ground Sear.

This, as you know, is a very rare aniiial and one
conoeming whose ocoarreaoe even the most meager notes

are of value.

Tott are to be congratulated on haying explored so

muoh wild coun*-"y previously unknown to white men.

Surely the ohanges in the range of the caribou hare been
a terrible thin<^ for the Indians. When I was at Seven
Islands many years f.:0 starving Indians came in from the
Eight of Land--one woman dragging the body of her dead
husband on a sled. They told a distressing story of
starvation oaased by the sudden disappearance of caribou.
Thanking you for your interesting letter,

Yery truly yours.

Bear Mrs. Glark:

Mabel doubtless told you tliat she had had a phone froH
Zenaida telling when Mrs. Merriam and I were expecting to
arrive. We came on time. Zenaida met us at Oakland Pier
and brou.'^ht us to Lagunitas via San Rafael and Novate. Se
have since found that the road via Kicasio Valley, 10 or
12 miles shorter, is nearly as good as the one by way of

Kovato.

Elizabeth is getting on pretty well, walking about the
house a little every day with the help of crutches, but spends
most of the day on her back. He are hoping to get rid of the
cast in about two weeks. Then we shall know better ajout the

outlook.

lagunitas is very beautiful this year o\7lEg largely i
expect to the late rain. At all events our ferns are not
nearly so dried up as they were when we came a year ago.

ife miss you and are wondering when you are coming. I
appreciated your nice letter last winter and fully intended
to write you but pressure of work for a friend who died last
fall so overwhelmed me during the winter and spring that I
had to let everything else go— by reason of which ray own
work is fully six months behind.

ILy dear Mrs. tJheldon:

loar Special Delivery letter of the 3rd instant did
not reach Lagunit as until this morning-double the time it ,
usually takes from ^ashin^^ton.

I am not surprised at ^cribner's decision in regard to
the boot. for the reason that t^e early sales of books of
this kind are rarely, if ever, sufficient to pay the cost
of such a large number of illustrations.

you ask if I v»oald advise trying another publisher.
To this my answer is. no. It is doubtful if any other
publisver woald make better terms and it is a great advantage
to l^ave a book of this kind published by Scribner.

If the full number of photographic illustrations are
retained t>>e cost will be $2000, which they tell you would
be paid off by the sale of 1800 copies. 1 should advise
either doing this or reducing the number of illustrations
by say 25^. t>>us reducing the amount to be advanced to
$1500 instead of $2000. 'fhis could be done it seems to ir.e
without seriously injuring the book, although it would be
nice to have the full number. Still, we must admit that a
.ood msny. while not actual duplicates, represent nearly

. "^^' 'mzKetrremains about the same. She is able to walk
^f>, rrrtches from her bedroom to the living room every day
bird oesSofattenpt other walking . ^« ^^ A^IIt'Tf Ims^''

week. She joins in love to you all.

Very truly yours,

Dr, Barton Warren Evermann
Director, California Academy
San i?rancisco, California

Dear Doctor Evermann:

of Sciences

Your letter dated June 1, informing me of cry
election to the high position of Fellow of the California
Acadeiry of Sciences, reached me only four days ago,
havinf^ been delayed in Washin5;ton.

■'

Please accept for yourself and convey to your
associates my appreciation of this recorrnition of ny
scientific work.

Thanks also for the interesting^ news in re^^ard to
the activities of Swarth, Van Duzec, Slevin, and Alice
Eastwood. I am always interested in the field work as
well as the research work of the Academy, and it is
encouraging to know that the Academy under your direction
is not only building up the museum hut at the sane time
contributing largely to many branches of Zoology and
Botany.

In the near f ut ire I hone to p^ive myself the
pleasure of callin^r, on you in person. With best wishes.

Very truly yours.
