Pioneering naturalist, explorer, and author (1877-1962) regarded as one of the founders of the field of ecology. ALS, one page both sides, 5.25 x 8.5, Department of Tropical Research, New York Zoological Society letterhead, May 4, 1933. Handwritten letter to "Miss Holmes," in part: "I was sorry not to see you after the lecture, but missed you due to the crowd which made my progress slow. I liked you and your enthusiasm was a joy...I am planning to go to the Pearl Islands off the west coast of Panama for two months from June 10th & then hope to go to Bermuda for four months. But even now I am not sure...So under the circumstances it would not be fair to ask you to wait, or put off your other plans...I wish to heaven you were a man, when it would be easier to fit you into impromptu expeditions." In fine condition.
