C. hjgaBt 30. 1922 * f Dear Dr* Merrieun: A I have not very crach work to report this month as I decided to taJke the remainder of nay vacation while the rest of the world was enjoying his. As I recall my letters to you they seem to mention vacation as often as work, but I have really taken only the four weeks in all, and have enjoyed it ixmiensely. I never realized before how beautiful this country is, and I have had only spasmodic yearnings for California's tawry hills* I have finished the tramscripts from the Spanish and ?fexican archives, and I hardly know i^ether to laugh or cry -- to feel relieved that they are done, or to be heartily sorry I ever undertook them, for T>hey have yielded Ysry poor returns. You asked about records of animal life. I found nothing at all except a few records in Lower California • The Liorary has a small miscellaneous collection of manuscripts on California, and I am aoout to sti^rt on them. Vty address after September 10 is to be 1767 Lanier Place. With love to IHtq. Merriam and Zenaida, Sincerely Dr. C. Hart Merriam Lagunitas, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Merriam, C.
