My dear Stewart:



I have you letter of recent date.  Have collections nearly packed and they will probably be shipped in two or three days.  The truck of the Uintah Railway will come here and get the things and take them to Wastson for $1.00 per hundred.

I am sending under separate cover my report for November.



In regard to the matter at the quarry I will say:  Dr. Pack, as you know, wished me to take charge of getting out a specimen for the University.  I was more interested in other things yet disliked to see the reamaining part of this skeleton torn to pieces by curiosity seekers.  I told him that I would take charge of it if he made statisfavtory arrangements with you.  Dr. Pack wrote me and I replied telling him as clearly as I could the exact conditions at the quarry.  I had much doubt that they would tackle the job after what had occurred to the skeleton on which they had put their main dependence.  Later Dr. Pack came to the quarry and saw the conditions for himself.  In the mean tiem, at this expressed wish I had a little work done on another skeleton which was showing up.  This, contrary to my belief before much of the skeleton was uncovered, is probably a Diplodocus, and it bade fair to supplement the first.  Neither I or anyone else could have concealed the facts in the matter.  With the exception of the letter to Dr. Pack and the mention of it that I have made to you I do not remember making a statement to anyone else in writing.  Probably I erred in judgement in metioning the matter to you.  I thought you would wish to know but in your position it was undoubtedly annoying and palced you in an unplesant postion.  I see from you letter that you do not understand all the conditions, but that is undoubtedly best.  



I believe that the larger museums should be in cordial relations with each other yesa nd with the smaller institutions also.  As for myself, prersonally, I am willing to make the representation that the Carnegie Museum, so far as I am aware, has had nothing whatever to
