H. 3. Wales-2

limitation of most biologically trained men, even the good ones,
is their inability to wrap their minds around a problem as geographically
extensive as the National Forests. In this respect I have met few people
in recent years of equal promise.
I want to make it clear that Wing will need a lot of handling,
and skillful handling at that. It should be realized that he will dissent
from many current policies, but I think this is what you need. He will
also, I hope, insist on doing a certain amount of personal research work,
but he has the capacity to handle this on top of even a large administrative
load. Perhaps I should also state that his writing, while extraordinarily
forceful, still tends toward exaggeration# and his polemic writing is better
than his technical writing. He also so far finds it hard to atock to one
thing long enough to finish it.
If there is any vacancy, and if the Service to interested, the
first thing is, of course, for you to look him over. I have no doubt he
would be glad to come over at your convenience.
With best regards,
Tours sincerely,
Aldo Leopold
