Transcription: University of California College of Agriculture Berkeley, California Agricultural Experiment Station F. W. Hilgard Director May 11 Rec'd My dear Professor:- Your letter of Apr. 17th reached me a few days ago. The question that I am taking up certainly is a perplexing one. I think, as you suggest, that the most accurate data will be obtained from observation and stomach examination, but still I do not think that the birds in the caged trees will be under any very great disadvantage. Professor Beal has been working in the field with me but contracted a fever a few days ago and left for Haywards, where his wife is spending the summer, he will be with me as soon as he recovers. I intend to have the question brought up for discussion at the coming meeting of the A. O. U. which will be held in San F. on the 15th & 16th of this month. Thanking you for your kind intent and good wishes I remain Very truly yours J. S. Hunter
