Abstract:
This item is part of a series of financial records from the Zoological Research Supply Company, including invoices, orders, and related records such as correspondence. The ZRS served as the profit-making subsidiary of the Bass Biological Laboratory, and operated in the mid to late 1930s and early 1940s. This letter to John F. Bass Jr. discusses venemous snake orders and frog pregnancy tests. This letter was most likely written by Stewart Springer and discusses the contemporary opinions on the dredging of an inland waterway.
