<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>nwh
New York, Nov 12/79
Prof: H. A. Ward.
Rochester, N. Y.
Dear Sir:
</p>
<pre> Your last lot of Bird's Eggs
</pre>
<p>came promptly to hand, and were all
in good condition, but I am sorry to
say, that you did not follow any instructions
which were in my last letter to you, it
I asked you not to send me the Eggs,
for I did not know whether I would
be able to make the payment of 19.70
which fell due on the 19th of Nov: and
now I know that I can not, for my
financial abilities have shrunk somewhat
of late, and as i have heretofore allways
kept my promises to you, I would
like to ask you if you would let me
pay off the whole amount (49.20) in weekly
sums of $2 each, or 8 each month, if you
could, it would greatly please me, for
I would otherwise have to return the
Eggs. Hoping to hear from you soon
I remain
Yours Very truly
A. Wuesthoff
?3 Canal St. N. Y.
</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.
