Scope and Contents

These letters describe Douglass's activities in Jensen, Utah, while looking for dinosaur fossils. By way of instruction Holland related to Douglass what Carnegie Museum had in mind for him to do. Many of the letters are concerned with finances. Douglass was always short of money for his work, and the museum was always hesitant about sending more. This financial dialogue is throughout the correspondence. A letter to Holland from Douglass dated December 1907 outlined the exploration of the Uinta Basin for fossils. This is perhaps the most complete description of what Douglass did.
