her my compliments.

If you come across any small frogs,
snakes, mice, or lizards try to secure
them. Buy Strong flint glass bottles &
use alcohol of 50 to 75 per cent. Buy
whatever you want to preserve specimens
with Tell Will Welch I'll refund to him
anything he may lay out for collecting apparatus
if he will collect for me. Tell him not to
be afraid to get things because they are common
- get small fish - Let him to work if
you can. If he gets much he may send
by express to me in Chicago this fall

I can't work and I aint really sick
so I have the "Blue Delivs" now "pretty much"
as the suckers say
