You will see why we are somewhat behind.  As far as the Museum is concerned, it is better, I think, that the work was as far along as it was when the representatives of the Museum came to get a view of conditions for guidance in future proceedings.  It seems unfortunate that work must be suspended at this time when the weather is ideal but of course it is the only course to pursue until further orders are received.  As I have before intimated, a closer touch with the office will undoubtedly relieve me of a good deal of responsibility and consequent worry.



I can only give it as my opinion, but I am confident that, if the matter can be arranged agreeably, funds will be available for the getting out of one of the skeletons of Diplodocus for exhibition in a museum in Utah.



The new skull which I have previously mentioned the one found when Peterson and Coggeshall were here is certainly new to me.  When only the posterior portion of the skull wasw partly uncovered it was supposed to be Diplodocus but it proves to be a very different thing.  I surmise that it may belong to the unknown skeleton which I have previously mentioned.



Mr. Kay and I are doing office work completing charts, records etc.
