Dear Mr. Brittingam:
This will acknowledge receipt of your check for $400, ihich has
been deposited in Hawkins' fund.
In writing you for the past quarter's remittance, I forgot to
give you an account. This is enclosed.
I very heartily appreciate your adding the extra $200 to the
fourth quarter for 1935. It has greatly eased my situation at this parti-
cular time. I have used it to pay Albert Gastrow, a local farmer who helps
count quail during the period. when Rawins, by reason of classes, has been
unable to be in the field. Gastrow really works for all the students as
well as for Hawkins* and his account is awkward to handle through regular
University channels by reason of the fact that it is a lump sum for the
whole winter.
7&en the additional $300 are received, our agreement, as summar-
ised in your letter of December 4, 1934, will have been completed.  I have
not had an opportunity to ask you personally whether there is any possi-
bility of extending it for another year. The savings I have made so far
will enable me to carry Hawkins until approximately July 1. After Hawkins
and I have had an opportunity to report progress to you, you might care
to discuss the possibility of a renewal beyond July 1. Hawkins' project,
of course, will not be finished for a couple of years. Whether or no there
is any possibility for extension, I want to express at this time my very
hearty gratitude for your support.
Will you let me know %hen Hawkins and I might have the chance to
report on our work to date?
Yours sincerely$
