<p>skeleton in every way. Mounted and hung if possible. If you have such an article that you can [congeries?] [timesly?] recommend, I will buy it of you for a fair price. Will you kindly reply an as soon as possible as I want the article immediately. I have been looking about in Boston but find nothing really satisfactory and therefore shall rely on you if you say you have one you can warrant.</p>
<p>Very Truly Yours,</p>

Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation
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.
