By all means send the
Mus michiganense and any [illegible]
on its habits to the Academy.

The gopher of Middle States
is Geomys bursarius; it is not
found in the southern states
where it is replaced by G. pineti
which has not yet been found out

Thomomys is the other genus.
The two together contain ten or

Plectrophenax lapponicus
and nivalis are both well

the freight & miscellaneous charges
You have against us and make
matters square: please return
the receipt.

Ever Yours
