Dear Dona.d: 
 
I am plased bupt not surprised that Dr. Fuller responded 
promptly to your eathusiasm and local knowledge. 
 
I agree with yo# that I  ud not rob a sanhbill crane nest, 
even for scientific purpses. I would lik. y   to read m 
crane paper but am out of copies. It a       in the October, 
1937 Is    of Aerioca Forests, and I am orderg you a copy 
from which you can clip this paper for y  collectioa. It 
will reach you before long. 
 
 
You could perform a valiable servic by reoxrding the number 
of broodng pairs  in your earsh each year, an the  ziuaa 
number of migrants each fall and opriain;. I have often watahed 
them in Pilot Knob Mawrh durin gose hunting eeason, and I 
confess I went up there more to see the crane* than to hut 
the grouwe. 
I enjoyed gtting acquinted, with your brother, ad cut on 
seeing you when you oome dwn to M4ison. 
 
                             With beet, regrds,
