Ord had been a close friend of Wilson's and was the executor of Wilson's estate—not that it amounted to much.
Ord was protective not only of American Ornithology but also of Wilson's role in earning respect for American science, and he took an instantaneous dislike to Audubon that would congeal into lifelong hatred.
Ord was delighted when he learned that a young artist named Joseph Mason, now working in Philadelphia, claimed to have collaborated with Audubon in Louisiana, painting background plants and flowers under the false impression that he was to be given credit for these contributions.
