<p>Dear Sir</p>
<p>Yours of the 28th just duly received, saying you wish to procure at least a dozen, & perhaps 100 specimens of the Horse show Crab, and also a dozen flippers of the Blackfish. you ask the address of some one in this vicinity who could procure them for you, in reply, I have to say I know of no one here better- situated to aid you than myself, and will do so if you wish me to. I can get the Horse Shoe Crabs by paying the boys to go over the flats at low tide and bring them to me for a few cents. Can put them in a rough box and ship them to you by Express. When I think they will reach you live if the weather is not every hot our people here keep them alive 4 or 5 days and then chop them up to peed their hens, There has been no Blackfish here the past 5 years. if they come this season I will procure the flippers if possible and send them to you when you receive this please write by return mail, if you wish me to send a box of H.S. Crabs. Respectfully yours</p>
<p>N E Atwood</p>

Henry Augustus Ward Papers
A.W23
From 1862 to 1906, Ward’s Natural Science Establishment supplied specimens to natural science museums around the world. The goal of this project is to enable scientists, historians, and archivists to recreate Ward’s inventory by linking 19th century materials and documents at their institutions to the original catalogues, bulletins, and manuscripts.
Original line breaks, punctuation, abbreviations and spelling have been preserved
in the transcriptions and underlining and strikethroughs have been encoded.
Marginalia associated with a photograph or other ephemera has been transcribed
and associated with that object. Other marginalia is tagged "caption" at the
beginning of the relevant date's entry. Words or phrases deemed indecipherable
have been noted as "illegible." Nontextual original content, e.g. drawings and
diagrams, have been noted as such. Images of the original diary pages are
provided to show the creator’s original page layout and placement of
additions.
