My dear Stewart:



I did not finish my later letter as I had an opportunity to send it to the postoffice before it was done.  You asked for an estimate of expenses after the collecting season.  I have been summing up accounts and am sendng monthly statements for July, August and September.  These are undoubtedly in line with the bank account ro I would have heard from you before.  I have to straighten up accounts so am sending these reports, summed up, to take the place of the provisional reports previously sent.  



If I get out the Dinosaur for Utah, as I expect to do, it seems to me that with the usual $250 at the end of October, I can straighten up matters and have a little to go on.  As I told you, I must do some office work for the Carnegie Museum, also pack and ship collections etc.  As I told Prof. Pack, I cannot work full time for them at president but will oversee the work.  I told him that I thought I could give them half time for a month and more later.  There will undoubtedly be some expense and, as I said, I hope to make one or two short trips one perhaps when I take the freight to Watson.



After this month October it seems, if there is no objection to the plan, that it might be best for you to deposit my salary as usual and I return the unused or unearned balance to the credit of the Field Account for expenses etc.  So far as I can now see  there ought not to be a necessity for much if any extras appropriation for the purpose.



On our last trip I went out with the special purpose of testing out an unsually good looking area of the Wasatch in Colorado.  We found that the deposits contain fossil mollusca, reptiles and mammals.  We made a small collection of small mammals, but toe get a large collection one must spend a month or more in the field.  It would undoubtedly pay to do so next year.  I know now about where to locate. 



I hoped to do a little more in the Brown's Park beds, but these too should require not less than a month and as much more time as the discoveries would require.  I have recently heard of quite large bones, which, from the locality from which they are reputed to have come   to Brown's Park.
