[Page 10] 20 The Jap was had been our only "foreigner"; and she had died quite placidly in 1905. The release of our native birds gave us little concern, for they could carry on; none the less, there was a bit of emotional upset in freeing the little friends who had become an accustomed background to our daily life. The greatest number of birds ever housed at once in our bird-room was 17, representing 12 species. In impressive retrospect now, thirty-five years after release of the last of our bird-friends, our "bird-room" is and will ever remain a lovely memory. FHS Lincoln, Nebraska January 12, 1942
