Letter from Philip DuMont to Myrle Jones dated April 29, 1944. DuMont responds to Jones about the sighting of a Summer Tanager by saying that many birds listed as rare in Iowa may have more to do with the lack of observers rather than the lack of the species. He encourages Jones to publish his observations so that more accurate records can be developed. This document is in response to a letter from Jones: https://avian.lib.iastate.edu/documents/4120/view
