Letter from Spencer Baird to Winfrid Stearns

Naturalist and Smithsonian administrator Spencer Fullerton Baird writes to his colleague Winfrid A. Stearns, regretting that the Smithsonian cannot fund "a special expedition to Labrador." Additionally, Baird is expecting Professor Addison E. Verrill's "papers on [Stearns'] invertebrates" to be published soon and sends "the latest Fish Commission Report."
