Rose,

     In regards to your whale request:

     I hope this doesnt sound annoyingly obvious, but you'll find
     everything you'd ever want and more in a copy of Melville's Moby Dick.
     It would be a very good novel to read for anyone on your staff
     involved in the Whales exhibition project. In fact, I would even go so
     far to say that anyone working on whales in the 19th and 20th
     centuries can't avoid NOT reading and/or taking into account Moby
     Dick. It's THAT important, I think.

     Best of luck. Let me know how you're project's going.

     Sincerely,

     Brian Martin

I am writing copy for a flyer for the up-coming Whales exhibition at the
Museum of Victoria and am seeking a good quotation on the subject of
whales.  Specifically I am after a quotation that suggests whales'
intelligence.

So if anyone out there in the wild blue yonder has one at hand, I would
appreciate hearing from you.


Thanks
