Dear Professor Leopold: 
The Research Committee has riven careful con- 
sideration to your application for support of the project 
entitled "Wisconsin Prairie Chicken Investigations" for 
the year 1940-41, and also to the modification of this 
project as brought out in your letter of April 25. Because 
of the limited funds available, the Committee finds it im- 
possible to support all of the worthy projects for which 
it has received requests. 
Very sincerely yours, 
ti 
F. B. Fred
