Of all the chapters I enjoyed "A windstorm in the Sierras" best for I seem to be with you on the swaying tree top. Next to that, the Douglas Squirrel appeals most to me and yet, as Dr Jordan says, the "Water Ouzel" is a classic. It is difficult to choose when each one is so fine. But reading this only makes03009 [4][letterhead]me the more anxious to have you consent to write an introduction for my humble effort. Can you not give me some idea of what to write Mc C[illegible] about your price? Put it high and as soon as you write me about it I will forward the letter to them.
