           Dear Dr. Hickey: 
 
           I have only recently had an opportunity to read through 
           the material you sent me regarding the studies of the 
           late Paul B. Riis on the food habits of Northern Illinois 
           deer. The material you sent is excell;nt--I find it 
           impossible to thank -vou enou:h for your very kind ,esponse. 
 
           If I may be so bold, however, I should be able to extract 
           more material from Mr. Riis' letter if I had carbon 
           copies of Dr. Leopold's related correspondence. Mrs. RiBs 
           no longer has the original letters. If cooies are 
           available, would you be good enough to send them to me? 
 
           Upon receipt of your answer, 1 shall endeavor to work over 
           the material in an expeditious manner and return it en 
           masse to you immediately thereafter. I have kept it too 
           long already. 
 
                                             urs very truly,
