Your skulls give us a greet deal of trouble, and as you do not put your name on the tags, the persons- who unpacked some of the shipments did not know who they we-e frcm. I have just spent some time in the Museum tryirr to straighten the matter out. I found 5 skulls set aside is frcm an un- known sender. These were received in August., 1923, and appear to be skulls shipped by you by freight in Ap.^il, 1922. In pecking skulls for shipment it is of th utmost importance to label epch one distinctly, giving the locality where killed, the sex when known,rnd your own name. The 7 skulls received in^l923 are valued at $40. rnd check for this amount will be sent you in c few dcy? from the Smith- sonian Institution. Very truly yours,' yjt >j|H i; ' ^ :1 : i r ^ i- ii c t< J t t i m a Hi â p. â¬â¢{ 1^ If. f; 0 ^ ^ '*,' i 1 ' f^'^' â ..â ».
