Dear Dr. Leopold: 
 
     Our wildlife research project under the Pittman-Robertson Act 
has had final approval by the U.S. Biological Survey. The project 
calls for one supervisor, one statistician to handle publications, 
ten Regional Game Managers who will be the field research workers, 
and three assistants to the Regional Managers. The field men will 
be required to make a wildlife survey of twenty or more counties. 
 
     An ir.vorta-nt phase of the survey will be to determine the 
important research problems of each region. It will also be their 
duty to investigate and recommend possibilities for experimental 
demonstrations in wildlife management. 
 
     Several of the men whom we have employed to date are around 
twenty-three ti twenty-four years of ae, with limited field ex- 
perience. Two of the men we have are older and have had very lit- 
tle field experience in research. We are trying now to select three 
or four more men about thirty years of age with enough field e7er- 
ience to do the job at hand. We are asking you to send us a number 
of names of men who, in your opinion, could meet these qualifications. 
 
     We have a large numiber of applicants; but most of them, for some 
reason or other, do not meet the qualifications. The age factor is 
the most common one. 
 
     We have been considering Leonard Wing but have as yet not come 
to any conclusion. We shall be glad to have any further statements 
that you care to make about him. 
 
     The top salary that we are now offering is $2,400.oo and an 
opmortunity to get a substantial raise the second year. 
 
     With best wishes, I am 
 
                                Sincerely y"Ours,
