<p>Bloomington Illinois<br />Dec. 8th 1879.<br />“ 22<br />Mr Henry A. Ward<br />Rochester N.Y. –</p>
<p>Dear Sir,<br />Yours of 2nd is just at hand, was sent to Bloomington Ind instead of B.- Ills.<br />I have never seen any Sterescopic views prepared on glass. If the list you sent me are carefully labelled, and I can use them to an advantage in the kind of Sterescope that most of us have, and it will not be necessary for me to get one especially for them, I want the specimens; but permit me to say, that I do think your price is too high. I have been offered a number of the same specimens, by a N.Y. House prepared on glass for the Microscope at 50¢ each <u>and a discount</u>; and certainly it is not more difficult to prepare specimens for the Sterescope than for the Microscope. -----Will you not do ^much^ better by me than that? ---- I intend purchasing either Sterescopic or Microscopic Zoological Specimens, and have the money for that purpose.<br />Do you know of a work describing</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.
