catalogues, bulletins, and manuscripts.

Esteemed Sir
Your favor of 20 inst is duly
rec'd by Frank [J.?] Thompson offering him 2 real Grizzly
Cubs born in January last being male and female for
$125 00/100. The Garden when established 5 years ago
was presented by me with a pair Grizzlys them old 2 1/2 years
and they are in our Zoo being a beautiful pair. I paid
that time for the pair 2 1/2 year old $200. and hope you
can let me have your pair although I do not need them
nor the garden for $100, but if you must have $125.
I will pay it and you can consider the pair sold to me.
One condition however I have to make is that you will
keep them until I am ready to take them off your
hands which will not be longer than March next, perhaps
sooner. The reason I ask this, is that I donate the value
of the Bears to our Zoo, but having Grizzly [there?] already I
want to exchange your cubs for other animals in Europe
and then donate the exchanged animals to our Zoo.
I refer you to [Mssrs] Strong and Woodbury whip manufacturers
in your city as you do not know me, and if you accept
my proposition I pay you for the Grizzlys at once.
yours respectfully,
Julius J. Bantlin
Thompson leaves to morrow evening for Baltimore to receive some
animals coming over from Hamburg for our Zoo.

My dear Professor,
Enclosed [?] handing Draft on New York
for $125.00 in payment of the Grizzlies, for which please send me
a receipt.
The Grizzlies were laid over one night at Cleveland and arrived
here Friday evening. It was lucky they came then, because
the very next train was smashed to pieces.
I cut the Halters off of their necks and they have a big cage
15 x 20 feet to cut up their capers in. They do splendid and
I am glad I got them. I may now keep them at the Zoo
till next spring and exchange them for other animals at some
Zoo in Europe which I will then present to our Zoo.
Thompson is still at Baltimore and hope Steamer will come
in port today bearing animals from Hamburg and Cologne
for our Zoo.
Most respectfully,

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

My dear sir when you wrote Mr. Thompson Novbr 20
offering him the grizzlies for $125 you stated they were female
and male when they arrived here I sent them right out to
the Zoological Garden to be kept there upon my expense
till I would send them to Europe and Thompson being in
Baltimore the keeper put them in a big cage 20 x 25
and cut their collars off. Now we are in doubt all of us,
Thompson, the keepers, myself and Charles Dori the naturalist
and think both are females. You had a chance to handle
them while yet while their team now they are turned regular grizzlies
id est awful bad tempered, I however can go up to them
and feed them candies, apples, ladies fingers etc. One is
of a darker color and it may be the male from its action and
rating. Please let me know about it, as I want to be
sure of their sex did you examine them.
Monday last hour Grizzly Bearess delivered herself of 3 cubs
all males we took them from their mother as she eat the others year ago 2 times.
No 1 Cub weights 1 lb 2 1/4 oz, 10 1/2 inch long, 8 in around belly tip of nose to base of neck 3 in.
No 2 Cub weights 1 lb 2 oz, 9 1/2 inch long, 7 1/2 in around belly tip of nose to base of neck 3 in.

and over the whole body, nose pink red and so the ears

Hair about the length of newborn calf and
