<pre> My Dear Sir: -
</pre>
<p>Allow me to
ask you if there is not room in your
establishment for a young man like my-
self ?You know something about what
I could do, and I am not particular; but
I desire to engage in something more re-
numerative than the scientific publish-
ing business; in which ^tho'^ I have worked my-
self up to a high standing in the coun-
try and Europe. I am not paid for the
hard labor I have performed. I should
be willing to commence moderately and
go up according to your own idea of my
worth. I do not think that anyone
you probably are acquainted with could

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>give me a better recommend than Professor
Baird and Dr. Coues.
</p>
<pre> I have had a moderate experience
</pre>
<p>among birds, but do not want to tell you
that I know any more than any one else;
I prefer you should find that out.
</p>
<pre> A favorable reply would be very
</pre>
<p>acceptable indeed.
Yours very truly
S. L. Willard

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.
