Woodside J[strikethrough] Dcr 26th

Friend Kennicott.

I rec d[underlined] through
the post. last Thursday
a Catalogue of the Birds of
North America - Presuming
from the superscription
I am indebted to you
for this favor I return
my thanks.

I have not yet pinned
my beetles. I found after
you left a bottle in which
I had placed separately
all my "small fry" - the
result of "beating" &c - I wondered
at the time we examined
the only bottle I could get at
why there were so few small
beetles in the lot.
