My dear Shoemaker - 
Have waited to find out about transporta-
tion. Can not get it over F. E. & M. V. Ry. but have it over Burlington.
So our itinerary must be :


Leave Lincoln - | May 26 | 5.00 p.m. | B. & M. 
Arrive Thedford - | " 27 | 2.22 a.m. 
Leave " | " " | 7.30 " | stage 
Arrive Kennedy - | " " | evening. 
Drive out to ranch. 
Birds | May 28 to June 8. 
Drive in to Kennedy, evening of June 8.
Leave Kennedy - | June 9 | morning | stage - 
Arrive Thedford - | " | evening 
Leave " | " 10 | 8.19 a.m. 
Arrive Lincoln - | " | 5.30 p.m.

Cannot you come down next Sunday or week after and talk
over plans? I shall not be able to be in Omaha.

I did not send Proceedings because I feared it would be too
much of a tax on your time. But am hoping you can call on a
few people there for us.

Saturday Prof. Bruner and Dr. Lowery took in Lake and Oak Cr.
and got a list of 78 species; Swenk and I, Salt Creek to Waverly
and listed 76; Bates and Baird south, only saw about 50. All
combined made a list for the day of 105.

But I hope to see you next Saturday -

With regards & best wishes -
Robt. H. Wolcott

Your letter just here -

I talked the matter over thoroughly with
Ward last night. I must go between May
27 and June 11. Summer session begins
on June 12 and I must be here on the 11th,
as I shall have charge of the department,
Ward going away.
Hope you can change date -
Yours, Wolcott
