SACRAMENTO

Sept. 13,1918.

Dr. Alexander Wetmore,
Gridley, California.

Dear Dr. Wetmore:-

We have received yours of September 12th. For a long time I have advocated investigation by someone who was not known or identified with gun clubs or any one really interested in duck shooting. I have induced the Commission to have Dr. Bryant of the University of California, make the investigation and file a report of his observation. I really think that a report from him will be of more value and will be looked upon with more consideration than it would coming from any deputy of the Fish and Game Commission, more especially so if it is possible to have your cooperation in compiling such a report. Dr. Bryant is expected to leave for Willows on Friday or Saturday.

Mr. Newbert expects to leave Saturday morning, in company with Deputy Ricketts, for a trip extending into a week and I have placed at yours and Dr. Bryant's disposal our Deputy T.W.Birmingham of Red Bluff who will arrive in Willows Saturday night or Sunday morning. He has a five passenger Ford and this, with the assistance of Deputy Caprenter, will enable you and Dr. Bryant to change off and get over the ground whenever it may be necessary. I know you will give Dr. Bryant every assistance possible in making his investigation a success. Please advise me by 'phone or letter in the next week as to your movements.

Very truly yours,
