Mr. Earl Douglass,

Jensen, Utah



My dear Douglass:



Your last letter has been received.  I am happy to report that I am almost completely recovered from the injury I sustained in April and, although my leg is  at times a little painful  and I have a slight limp, I have cast away my crutches and am "whole again".  



You make no reply in your letter to my injury as the long missing two hundred dollars or more which the government owes us, and concerning which I wrote you.



What you write about the material you are at present taking out is very interesting, but of course we can only await results.  In view of the fact you have only five dorsals in sight, it seems to me a little rash to suggest that the animal has more than ten dorsals, the number thus far known to occur in sauropods, the vertebral formule of which has been really    and not simply surmised.



I cannot take time to write more just now, as I am pressed for time. 



I am,



Yours very sincerely,



Director Carnegie Institute
