Dear Professor Leopold:
This is to ask permission to use a quotation from your book "Game
Management" (see attached copy) in a new book on "Wildlife Management" to
be published by McGraw-Hill Book Company in 1948.
If permission is given,credit for the quotation will be given in
a footnote.
The publisher will also be asked permission to use this material.
You may be interested to know about the work -oing on here and
wildlife developments here. We are going into the second year of research
on the cause of damage to lead telephone cable by gray squirrels. This is
financed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories. We are on the second year of
study on the use of edges by wildlife. One zoology graduate student is just
beginning the embryology of the pheasant. Two other zoology students are
working on the petituary gland  and the histology               cells. Still
another is doing the history of game in Massachusetts.          C
Why not drop out this way some time.
Very truly yours,
R. E. Trippensee
