correspondence with Prof. Baird
but I will send you all the
information I can obtain. As some
of our specimens were undetermined
I have taken some pains to study
them since the receipt of your letter
& give you a list with remarks,
on a separate sheet. Hereafter
I shall be able to do more

Specimens of the species which
you mention will of course be
very acceptable as (excepting
Mus leucopus) I know nothing of
the animals named as denizens
of Mirchigan. The prairies undoubt=
=edly furnish many peculiar
species

You say you intend visiting
Dr. Hoy at Racine. I have no
personal acquaintance with
him but I shall be glad
to have you present him
