            Mr. Aldo Leopold, 
            905 University Avenue, 
            Madison, Wisconsin. 
 
            Dear Mr. Leopold: 
 
                              I am enclosing, herewith, the copy of 
 
             the paper you sent me for perusal, and I wish to offer 
 
             you my congratulations on it for I think you have 
 
             stated the case accurately and fairly. 
 
                              As to the status of the duck hawk in 
 
             New Jersey, I very much doubt that there are over two 
 
             breeding pairs in the State, if that many. While it 
 
             occurs regularly, chiefly along the coast, as a migrant 
 
             Spring and Fall, its numbers are never large enough to 
 
             have a serious effect on the game supply. I never re- 
 
             call seeing more than three in any one day and that is 
 
             an unusual number. 
 
                                      Very truly yours, 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                                                   cY   
   x.
