Swans

8 Pesub Sq. Boston, Nue 23, 89

My dear Sir,

In regard to the
Swans tc. at Mt. Auburn
will you have the kindiness
to give me all estimates (which
if you have already, I believe) of
their yearly cost. also let me know whether they
commit appreciable damage,
whether they are generally
considered as adding to the
beauty of the grounds, the
probable cost of a new fe-
male swan, +whether at
present other geese or ducks
are needed in case it is
determined to retain the.
I see no mention of birds
in the report of Greenwood.
