commence their breeding operations. It will
be desirable to collect all the species
over again. Many are so different then as
to appear different species. I hope you may
procure a small net for this season, if in no
other way I must try to send you one
if I can get any in by that time.
Please give my best respects to
your father, and ask him if I can
do anything for him here. After the
session of Congress, commences and I can
get a hold of any one to frank documents,
I will send some to him.
Write to me as often as you
please. I will always be glad to have your
letters and to answer them. Any infor-
mation or assistance I can give you [illegible]
of course be most cheerfully rendered.
Very sincerely yours
Spencer F. Baird

I send the printed label this
time. Send the things by Express.
The high wines answer well for preser-
vation, if the specimens are not too much
condensed. Better pack the specimens in
layers with intervals of cotton or cloth. See
that the vessel is perfectly full of packings,
even before putting in alcohol
