<p>Sept.74 "Glen Iris" Portageville P.O., N.Y. Aug 24th, '76 Prof. Henry A. Ward No. 2 College Avenue Rochester, N.Y. Dear Sir,</p>
<pre> I learned last
</pre>
<p>evening from Prof. Smith, Principal of the Female Seminary at Pike, and Chairman of the Committee having charge the remains of the Mastodon, that little else had been done to the bones found, than to varnish them with a coating of glue. I strongly urged upon Mr. Smith the importance of placing them at once in the charge of a scientist, and he agreed with me, without he was over ruled from doing so, to at once forward to you at Rochester by U.S. Express. the bones packed in saw dust. Each tusk will be packed ^in^ a separate box and such fragments of tusk as it is not known to which they belong, will be sent in a separate package and marked as doubtful.</p>
<pre> I told Mr. Smith that I would be
</pre>
<p>responsible to you for putting the bones in a good condition</p>

<p>for preservation. Mr. Smith and myself will be greatly obliged if you will place them in the hands of a competent person and instruct them to be properly preserved and then packed away with care, awaiting further instructions. After your return from Europe and the East we will again take up the subject. Will you please be particular to have the smallest fragments preserved.</p>
<pre> Please direct the bill of charges to be sent
</pre>
<p>to me and I will remit at once for the same. As I have no authority to make any expenditures and do so only in promotion of the general interest, you will please cause no further expense to be made than is necessary to put the bones in the very best state of preservation, putting, perhaps, the broken fragments of the tusks together. I remain Dear Sir, Very Sincerely Yours, Wm.. P. Letchworth</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.
