our material and we will soon have a lot of it ready for shipment. Of the Brontosaur we already have out I should judge about 2 wagon loads and as soon as Bill and I get at it we will snatch things out at a lively rate. We have labeled all our quarries and I do not apprehend any difficulty in holding them until we can get around to work them out. My judgement at the present meeting is that we will get a fine collection and make a really good start in our vertebrate department.

I have just received the U.P. Invitation which I send you under separate cover. I think it wise to name Bill Reed as one of the assistants in order to secure transportation for him to Chicago on the return. Another assistant can be named under the conditions and I leave it to you to say whom it will be. If we get too many in camp it will be necessary to enlarge our camp facilities which will increase our expense.

 In the matter of expenses I am running as close to the wind as I possibly can and I am of the opinion that we will come far within the estimate I gave you. We have been hustling from daylight until dark
