If only I can succeed in finding someone whom I can hire to collect & prepare a lot of skins for the University of Nebraska. Thus far I have failed to find such a person.
While it is midwinter down here at present it freezes, but not hard. Nevertheless one feels the cold even more than we do in Nebraska when there is really cold weather. The air is damp like on our days when we have cloudy weather with southeast or east wind. Then too, hardly anyone has a fire in the house, and there is none on the cars. One is obliged to wrap up sufficiently to keep warm. I may get used to this custom, but while I am getting accustomed to it I certainly will spend many disagreeable hours and days.
In a week or so I hope to get into quarters of my own where I can have things more as I want them. Do not think that I will try to keep house, but will fit up a sleeping room and office, and take my meals at the hotel — a German family keeps it.
On the 8th of June I remitted to you a draft by letter for $600. — I sent you the original draft. In case it has been lost I now send you a duplicate of the same draft to be used only in case the original was not received. See Mr. Drake or Westermann about the matter. Remember, if you have received the original and obtained the money for it this duplicate must not be used. Save it — have Dales put it in the safe. Will send you some more money in a little more than a month from now.
Please hand the inclosed slip of paper with reference to a certain Missouri Experiment Station bulletin to either Mr. Hunter or to F.W. Taylor. Mr. Oliver C. James is the man with who I am staying at present and I want to do all I can in the way repaying him for personal favors.
Good bye till next time, Love to all,
Yours etc.
Lawrence Bruner
Since writing this he has heard from me. Marica
