Hart :,!erriam, #1919 - Sixteenth St., WASHINGTON, D. C. Dear Sir:- Your letter regarding shipment or collecting of big bear skulls of the Copper River region came tc rne about two weeks too late for rae to be able to secure any beara killed this season in thia district. Although there .vere a great nanber of bear^ killed no one brought in any skulls and I was unable to get in louch with anyone who had any skulls of big bears killed in this region. In the future I shall be glad to ship you all the skulls I am able to secure. Do you wish skulls from the Kataila and Suckling area or the Island^ s of Prince I^'illiam Sound, such as Montlgue and Hinchenbrook where there are a large number of bears found? I presented to your friend Mr, Cutting a skull of a bear killed by myself in the Spring of 1916 which was mailed to you and which I hope reached you in good shape. Any additional information about the beara of this region I can give you, I will be pleased to lend my assistance towards the making of your work a success. Yours very truly, WWC/d. /? v^.
