Dear Mr. Grimmer: 
 
     About six weeks ago one of my neighbors 
observed a covey of about fifteen Hungarian 
partridges, which were near a gravel pit about 
four miles north of New Lisbon. 
 
     It has always been my belief that the birds 
we planted here migrated and this covey was seen 
at least five miles from any previous planting. 
 
     The man who observed these birds is in a po- 
sition to know what they are because some of the 
first birds put out were planted on his farm. It 
occurred to me that this matter might interest 
you. Would it be convenient for you to call Aldo 
Leopold's attention to this? 
 
                        Sincerely yours
