I don not submit this with any desire or attempt to dictate but to present the matter for your consideration. In the past you have, and wisely, I think, submitted to our judgment in these matters, so I belive you will be glas to know of my feeling in the matter. An addtional interest attached to this region on account of the fact that there is an opportunity to get data that will help to geolgists and palaeontologists for more than a half century. Yours sincerely, Earl Douglass
