Dear Bill:

Many thanks for your letter of July 27th. I have sent the paper to Meg Miller.

And thanks for your encouraging words on the question of my health.

An update on the Natural History of the Muscovy  is enclosed. I hope you will give me the benefit of your criticisms and comments.

I do not have a copy of Mc Kusick paper. It was returned with the manuscript I reviewed for the University of Texas Press. I sort of unloaded on Carter who is I think too speculative and have had a blizzard of polemics from him.

I greatly appreciate the copy of Duck and Geese  which you compiled and sent to me. I am sure I will refer to it somewhere.

All the best.
