Prof. L. Bruner,
Lineoln,
Nebraska.

Dear Mr. Bruner:-

Your note of the 27th. inst. at hand. The boys to
whom I referred as interested in birds, moths and bugs are both in one
family. I give below the name and address of the one who has made the
closest study of such things. He is just a young farm boy of about 14
or I5 yeers, rather shy, and has hed some handicap with an arm which
shows signs of tuberculosis, That fact has kept him mich out doors by
the ordere of a physician; and he has developed quite a keen eye for
nature. His trouble seems to be lessening. Any help or attention you
may give him will put him in the seventh heaven of appreciation, and be
very greatly appreciated also by his people ne much anove the
average in character ami intelligence. 1% may be you can suggest some
amateur periodical to which he might subsoribe, I put him in the way
_ of getting a beginners book of birds awhile ago, and he has absorbed
it all and wants the next grade. His people are willing to get hin
pooks, and are able to do s.

Thanking you for your interest, I remain,

Very truly vours, Q
Mol
