Dear Mr. Dadant: 
 
           Mr. T. E. Musselman of Qu~incy told. me .recently 
that you have in your com~pany a Mr. Pellet, who may have 
evidence as to fall'migrations"of quail. Mr. Musselman 
remembers somebody from your region telling him that quail 
were seen flying southward across the Mississippi. I would 
greatly appreciate your handing this letter to Mr. Pellet 
and letting me h1ave any evidence in your or his possession 
bearing on this mooted question. 
 
           I desire this information for my report on the 
game survey of Missouri, which I have just completed. If 
your reply can reach me within a week it will be much ap- 
preciated. 
 
           Withi kindest regards, 
 
                                Yours sincerely, 
 
                                    atdA(~
