long eared if not the short eared?
I am anxious to hear from you on
this point.

Another thing - I have two volumes
of [illegible] Report for you. How shall
I get them to you without expense.

I would get them packed, but
there is no present prospect.
The egg came safely and I must
have, by and by some further talk
with you about the unknown eggs
which are full of interest. Many
of them I can determine, others
are new and unknown. Does the
Canada Jay ever breed about
you? There is one egg which may
be that of this bird. If not I can
not conjecture what it can be.
But of this another time.
