                           Prof. Aldo Leopold 
                           424 University Farm Place 
                           Madi son, Wisconsin 
 
                           Dear Professor Leopold: 
 
                                           In your letter of April 14, trans-

                           mitting the expense account of Mr. Hochbaum of
$5.44, 
                           you advise that there will be no salary checks
other 
                           than that of Mr. Hoohbaum's for the month of April.

                           I am quoting from a letter of Mr. Hochbaumts of
April 4 
                           as followes 
 
                               " Ernest Loucks will begin as hatchery
assistant 
                               April 15 at $50.00 a month. Besides my own
check 
                               for April, then, there should be a $25.00
check 
                               for Mr. Loucks for the half month of April.
I 
                               am assuming that, since the budget is approved,

                               it is all right to take on Loucks for the
latter 
                               halt of April, May, June and the first half
of 
                               July." 
 
                                           As you will note, he has listed
the salary 
                          for an assistant, Ernest Loucks, from the latter
half of 
                          April through the first half of July. Since Mr.
Miller 
                          has left, I thought it best to take it up with
you for 
                          your okay before sending the salary check to Mr.
Loucks. 
 
                                           I would appreciate hearing from
you at 
                          your convenience. 
 
 
                                                          Yours very truly,
