Dear Leopold, 
 
             Your letter of the 17tl acknowledging reoipt of my 
 
little book, emote my conscience, for I have nefwr written to 
 
thank you for your very generous gift of your own work wnich, al- 
 
though greatly appreciated, is appreciated only less than your 
 
very kind inscription. Please accept my thanks and gratitude. The 
 
reason I have been so long in writing tnIs is because the last few 
 
weeks of my crow experiments have kept me on the constant hop and I 
 
have been going short of food and sleep alike and nave cut out 
 
everytning that did not absolutely have to be done. The birds are 
 
now out - shipped soutn by plane - and I am anxiously awaiting the 
 
returns. Wonder what they will all do? 
 
                       Yours very sinerely,
