Dear 1-r. Leopold: 
 
I wonder if I interpreted your letter of May 17 correctly. 
Do you mean that the fellowship will not be available for 
the year 1929-30 unless 1hr. Stoddard is able to come West 
to look over the grouvd~? I am sorry if this is the case, as 
I was hoping to get this study well under way during the 
coming year. 
 
It is barely possible that hr. 11iller will be kept on in the 
department as a teaching fellow, and if he decides to rerain 
with us during the coming year, I think I shall plan to have 
him work on the range of our partridges. Then if the fellow- 
ship is available in the next year, he can continue his work 
as a fellow of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition 1Manufacturers 
Institute. 
 
Under separate cover i am sending you a term paper completed 
by hr. Miller during the past year on the Bob White. I feel 
sure that he will be an excellent man for this type of work. 
 
Probably the only way I could get the pheasant material pub- 
lished in full wvould be to have it published as a book, and 
it is possible that I might work it up for that. Would 
there be any possibility of the Institute finanicing its 
publication'I  The "American Pheasant Breeding and Shooting" 
by Quarles is not being reprinted, but a portion of my thesis 
is being published instead by the American Game 2rotective 
Association. I hope that this will be out shortly. 
 
I plan to leave here on the evening of the 7th of June, and 
will probably arrive in Chicago on the 10th. Under present 
plans, I shall have several hours in the city, and if you 
are there. I think we could make arrangements to get to- 
eether and discuss the problems of the study. I can let 
you know definitely at what time I will arrive in Chicago. 
                      Very sincerely yours,
