Proffr. Spencer J. Baird
  Sir
      To remove exhibits from a foreign section of any of the Exhibition Buildings it is necessary to secure a permit from the Commissioner and then the Signature of the Chief of Bureau.
   Mr Westergard of the Netherlands Commissioner will issue to you a permit and I will with pleasure sign it. You will be put to the trouble of securing a fresh permit each time as they must be taken up at the doorway by the guard.
  I enclose you a half dozen permits which you can present to  Mr Westergard and which I will have properly endorsed.
    Yours respectfully
     Burnet Landreth
      Chief of Bureau
