#33 Ferry Avenue,
Detroit, Michigan,
November 15th, 1901.

Bryant B. Glenny, Esq.,
Sheffield, Mass.

My dear Mr. Glenny:-
I was at Berkshire farm recently, and had hoped to have had an opportunity to call at your home, but a pressure of work prevented.
On the train going from Sheffield to New York, I met Mr. Curtiss, who lives just north of your place, and we talked of the advisability of prohibiting shooting along the undermountain, and he requested me to communicate with you on the subject. He thought that if yourself, Mr. Wilcox, the Royce boys and myself would join him in prohibiting shooting, we could protect a considerable tract of land. I said to him that I was perfectly willing to join in such a movement, and agreed to write and ask your views on the subject, feeling that if we three agreed to put up prohibitory notices, Mr. Wilcox and the Royce brothers would do likewise.
Will you be good enough to write me frankly how you feel about it, and oblige,
Yours very sincerely,
Charles L Freer
