Ive a book I had sent to me today I found the following foreword of John Burroughs:- When we see animals going about, living
their lives in many ways as we live ours, doing? illegible ing, courage fear, joy, anger, grief etc etc. ( drinking milk?
) I say, what more natural than that we should ascribe to them powers akin to our own. and look upon them as their? king,
reasoning and reflecting. By this he does not mean instinct? do you think? He must have changed his attitude with public
opinion. Hope you will return soon. Affectionately yours, Ellie Mosgrove. Thursday.
