My dear Prof
</p>
<pre> Your favor of the
</pre>
<p>6th inst duly at hand.
</p>
<pre> You relieved my mind
</pre>
<p>just in time, for I intended
that evening to "open fire" upon
you. When Mr Nichols sent
the telegram I could not
see how it was possible to
get five duck in the sized
case given. I have since
decided that is absolutely
impossible to do so.
</p>
<pre> The groups as they ordered
</pre>
<p>them are as follows -
Group F Group E
Harlequin Duck Baldpate
Stellers Duck Black Duck
Spectecled Eider Wooded Merganser

I think that it will not be
advisable to have Glass in
<u>three sides</u> - for it will involve
too much extra work - & the
cases will not be so strong
to ship _ However should they
decide to have them open in three
sides I must know<u>at once</u>
I have no time to loose - &
can not do the work twice -
</p>
<pre> I am very anxious to have
</pre>
<p>them adopt my measurements
for many reasons - & please
urge them strongly -
</p>
<pre> I have every case planned
</pre>
<p>& do not wish to change them

</p>
<pre> I myself see no reason
</pre>
<p>why disastrous results need
follow the management of
Studer but I am inclined
very strongly to have a sharp
eye on him - and should
the Society take immediate
action & accept his offer

I think that it would
be advisable to make Studer
before hand "rivet" the bargain
