Mr.Aldo Leopold, 
Madison ,Wis. 
Dear Mr.Leopold: 
I have just received your letter of the 22nd.  You say that 
you have asked for the map several times.  I have but one such request. I

wonder if by chance you addresses some of these inquiries to the University
t 
I have had much trouble with mislaid mail at the University (it is placed
on 
open shelves to which everyone has access) and I have all my mail addressed

to my home,529 Brown St. 
The map to which you refer was first published in the Proceedings of the

Iowa Academy of Sciencevol.VII,1900p-in somewhat larger form than that which

appeared recebtly in ECOLOGY.  If you wish this larger form I can send you

a copy as I still have some of the prints.  I have copies which are not folded

and one of these would probably serve your purpose.  Of course you can make

use of that in ECOLOGY if you prefer. 
I have had much physical trouble in the past month or morewhich culminated

in a prospect of pneumonia.  Fortunately this danger seems to be a thing
of 
the pastbut it resulted in quite a muddle in my correspondenceetc. 
I am at homebut expect to be at the University on Monday. I have a number

of the maps there and will send you one.  I am also sending a reprint of

the paper from ECOLOGY. 
Very sincerely,
