Sir.

In answer to
your request of the 2^nd inst I regret to
have to inform you that I can't afford
you more information (at the present
time) concerning the mammals of
that region (Minnesota) than I have
already done as ^I am now located in this
place, haven't been Home since I saw you,
am going in the Spring, on a visit, I would
recommend to your honor this Gentleman,
John. L. Davis ^{my Brother,} of the same place as my
address last Winter. I have written to Him
concerning this matter. you do the same.
guess He will do the thin up wright, if Spe-
cimans are wanted from the Region where I
norw stay, I am at your service.

Yours With Much Respect.
Spier B. Davis.
