Burlington - N. J - Aug. 18/57

Dear Sir -

The box announced in your
favor of the 14^th July has arrived
in safety. The snails are interesting -
You do not yet seem to have
found the true habitat of Suc-
cinea. as but few have come -
Among bushes and ^on the ground in
wet marshy ground - and sometimes
on hill sides far from water they
are generally found -

You had better put the snails
you find on your trip in alcohol -
for fear of their dying and decaying
before reaching me -

Yours very truly
W. G. Binney [illegible mark in superscript]
