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.

<p>nwh Boston Jan 10 /76 Dear Mr Ward</p>
<pre> I have taken the things
</pre>
<p>from the Alcohol and pkd them in paper in lieu of rags wh. I hope will serve as well. I leave the whole thing to you. I wrote to you some few weeks ago about my pro- posed visit to Florida, but business crowds me so I cannot go. On the contrary I suppose I shall be in Buffalo in a little while & if so I shall be sure to in intrude a visit into your sacred den of wonders. I hope the snakes will prove all right. I have looked after the boxing myself, but some of the specimens</p>
