Dear Sr. Matthew:

I have your two letters and the postal. Glade to know that the little specimen mailed you is of interest.

We start tomorrow morning for the Ralston Beds north of Powell and shall give them a very thorough search this time and when that is done we shall return to the May Bull and try the central part of the region south of the river which we haven't reached yet. (?) was working on it last fall when he was taken ill and was obliged to come out. The (?) tells me he was a very rich man for a few days although Surye(?) himself simply told me that he was afraid to stay out there alone any way.

Glade to hear of Brown's (?). I'm missing Surye(?) a just deal this year but presumes an Ankylosaurus skeleton in more important than (?) anything else and could get just now.

Stein is having trouble getting (?) papers and asks if you would mind sending him a certificate of his connection with the Museum fort in 1908. I have done this for him for the (?) he has been with my parties. I suppose that just a statement addressed of "Whom it may concern" would be sufficient. Some conflicting statements much concluding is what is causing him the trouble.

I had a most enjoyable four days with my brother on Marble, Colo., one of the most beautiful spots in that (?). I also spent a Saturday and Sunday with Thomson and Agate. He is in the midst of a picket of Moropus, which looked mighty promising for a Mount. Harold is in somewhat of a quandary as to what to do with all of the duplicate skulls of Diceratherium. I understand that sud material as the Museum does not use mud for mounts or exhibitions (?) in the Harolds and he's anxious to exchange some of it with European institutions for (?) material. It is to do this it should be done at once - before Carnegie Museum (?) the market.

There certainly is a world of Diceratherium there. The twenty or more skulls cleaned up last year are very well prepared and some of them are choice specimens. I didn't think there are more than two or perhaps three species in to look through. Harold himself doesn't think so now.

The Cooks apparently do not wish to make any money out of the quary, but they also like all of the credit in navigation that its reasonable to (?) them. They were some credit about as I presume they are of all the fossil hunters. Harold spoke as if some of his private collection would go to a museum - his choice specimens in a beautiful skeleton of Peterson's Camel.

I'm much interested in what you write of the (?) you are surely congratulated on reaching results which satisfy yourself.

Address Otto and we will have our mail forwarded from there.

I have used up one week of my vacation. If remaining time should like to take immediately upon my return of the Museum.

Faithfully yours,

Walter Granger
