Mr. H. A. Hochbaum, 
American Wildlife Institute, 
Delta, Manitoba, Canada. 
 
My dear Mr. Hochbaums 
 
           Ia reading over some of the literature of our 
organization, I note that you and Mr. B. W. Oartwright flew 
approximately 2,000 miles over some of our great duck breeding 
grounds, and I am writing to ask what your impressions were 
of the conservation work that can be done in Canada.   We in 
this country realize that it is a vast territory and we are 
keen to have the opinion of a man not in our organization who 
has had a chance to see things at first hand. 
 
           I have had a number of very interesting talks with 
Ted Doremus of Wilmington, and understand that you are doing a 
splendid piece of work at Delta. 
 
 
With best regards, and hoping to hear from you, I 
 
 
aml 
 
 
Sincerely yours, 
 
 
 
'Chairmgan.
