Mr. Leopold - 2. 
 
 
not always to be found just when and where one wants it, 
 
             I realize that you are not trying to crowd us 
in the matter and hope that, on your part, you will understand 
that we are not trying to hold anything back on you. Both 
Wight and I are quite willing for you to have any information 
that is available from here, but it hardly seems practicable 
to disrupt other plans for the preparation of special reports 
unless there is a really urgent need for them. Meanwhile, 
if you have any specific questions which can be answered 
without too much of an expenditure of time, he will be more 
than glad to do the best he can with them, 
 
             In this connection you may be interested in the 
attached list of articles which Wight has already completed 
and which he has under preparation or consideration. At 
least two or three of those under consideration I hope that 
he may be able to work up during the coming year for publi- 
cation as University bulletins from the School. I hope 
you will be patient in ease things seem to go a little 
slow, remembering that we are working with decidedly limited 
appropriations and with a fairly heavy teaching burden on 
all of the research force. 
 
             It was fine to see you here, and we all greatly 
enjoyed the recent visit from Stoddard and Grange. They both 
seemed to be satisfied tha-t Yeatter's work is progressing 
satisfactorily, which of course pleases us very much, 
Stoddard seemed very clear in the view that further studies 
of the life history of the Hungarian partridge in this 
general region would be very desirable during the coming 
summer, and that nothing would be lost by postponing until 
another year the proposed rather extensive survey. Naturally 
I am glad of this since I did not see how we could possibly 
finance the latter at this time. 
                                      Very sincerely yours, 
 
                                            -
