<pre> I thank you for your

<p>very kind response to my inqui- ries about mounted skeletons, minerals etc. The explanation about losing my letter is amply sufficient - I have seen some specimens of your preparations at the School of Mines N. Y. - where I graduated, with which I was much pleased. I had hoped to send to you for some minerals but I suppose that now arrangements are completed for a supply from another source. Our cabinet how- ever is woefully destitute of the things which you could furnish - casts and mounted vertebrates. Nothing would please me better than</p>

But I shall have to be patient for a while as our funds are so inadequate to the magnitude of our work - I have a fine class of 57 in Zoology (Juniors) and one of 54 (Seniors) in Mineralogy and Geology, but am pinched at every turn for more ample illustrations. Still we have a cabinet of which we are not a- shamed - collected mostly by my uncle and predecessor, Geo. N. Allen. An ef- fort is making among the friends of the late Pres. Finney in Rochester to secure endowment funds for the Theological Seminary here, but as sem- inary and colleges are both supplied from one pocket, I am somewhat hopeful of getting also a fund for in- creasing our cabinet. If among your acquaintances you think of one who might perhaps be per-</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.
