I wil help you in this buisness so far as I can but I want it done as soon as posible for several reasons.

The greatest is that the U.P.R.R. is geting out an advertisement of these fossil fields and expect to bring 200 or more colectors into Wyoming this summer they are offering free passage from Chicago and Sanfrancisco and expect to make money on the freight that these people wil ship.

So it stands the poor colector in hand to know what he is going to do. Professor Knight furnished the information and photographs for this work and now he is in hot water with the Board.

We hare having fine weather and the snow is going fast it is all gone around town and the streets are dry.

I think that when the time comes for me to leave this institution I shal notify the secy that I am going and go.

Yours Truly
