Dear Robert.

If you can substan-
teate your ideas about the
feeding of certain "snaiks"
on caterpillars and grubs
you may do much for the
relief of this persecuted [illegible]

By all means send
notes on the habits of the
Rodents to the Phila. Acade-
my. - It will not interfere
at all with my plans,
as I can take the data
rom the published procee-
dings even better than
from the mss. and the
facts will be thus more
widely distributed. Make
your paper for the Academy
as full as that you proposed
to write for me, and let it
be published by A: I can
then extract and publish
afterwards in one form or
other

10/10/2023 Initial review complete. CE
Action: Changed "tiate" to "teate" at beginning of line 7. It's a misspelling but appears to indeed be an "e". Could not make out [illegible] word either.
