7 This morning I visited Rawley at the Oakland Public Museum at Oakland. The place is in an old wooden building in a park on the shore of Lake Merritt. I found Rawley in the attic with an Examiner reporter + Mr. Hubbard an Oakland Sportsman + part of father to the institution. He is a relative of Mrs. Bell's whom was at Hubbard. The Museum has large exhibits but is an old house with small rooms + not suitable for a display place. They have a new building planned in the park. The funds are provided by the city. Public lectures in schools are given by a woman whom I met & cases of birds are used in this connection.
