My dear Walter:

Professor Osborn returned a few days ago, and was highly pleased with the reports I was able to give him of the field expeditions and with your letters. Pindar has your bill of landing and is looking forward to getting the boxes before long.

I am back on Museum work now and expect to look after correspondence more regularly. Christman has finished the Coryphodons and is at work on 1910 Coryphodons now. The Asphalt Group has been temporarily set up and will be a very effective exhibit; hope to see it finished about the time you return. Lang has made a very ingenious moveable mount for the Tyrannosaurus models, and will soon have them shaped up for the group. Otto is just now turning the new Glyptodont carapace for finishing and mounting; Charlie Falkenbach is working on the Saurolophus skeleton.

Gidley has been here for the last few days. He has applied for a Carnegie Institution grant to study and describe the Fort union fauna, and at my suggestion revise the Punerco-Torrejon fauna as well. If this goes through it would be a good arrangement to have him join your party if you are in the Torrejon next summer. He would come as a volunteer, and whatever he collected would be Museum property, - that is understood. If you approve of the arrangement I'll put it in written form as soon as he has a favorable reply to his application.

With regards to Stein

Sincerely yours,

W. D. Matthew

Curator.

Mr. Walter Granger,

American Museum Field Expedition,
