My dear Stewart,

I have written a letter to Dr. Holland concerning the huge brute I have found. I want you to read it as if it were addressed to you, and if you think it is not necessary to send it to the Dr. put it on file and write to him whatever data you think will most interest him.

He has sent me for Dinosaurs and Dinosaurs are expensive luxuries. I have as good a prospect as one could wish. I suppose if I found a good one he expected me to get it out. I should be tickled if I thought he didn't, for it's the biggest job I ever undertook. If he has left the financial matters with you as I should think he would and you think best not to bother him, why, just keep the letter and send him the good, or interesting part. There's one dead sure thing it will take considerable money. Please write me at once and tell what you do and how much money you place at my disposal. If the cloth is short I'll fiddle around and do the best I can with it.

Excuse this writing but I've been sitting on the ground in my tent writing since 8 or 9 P.M. and its after midnight now.

I will send my Aug. financial statement in a few days.



Yours faithfully,

Earl Douglass
