<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Nearing Liverpool, Rochester, N.Y. Feb 17 1880
Hon. Andrew D. White
Berlin.
Dear Sir,
I have once more left my Rochester
home for a short tour abroad,—this time to the
South of Europe and—perhaps—to Algiers.
I hope sometime in April to pass through Berlin
in which case I shall do myself the great pleasure
to make you a short call.
Just now I wish to ask of you, Sir, the favor of
a certain information. I have heard somewhere
that there is to be in Berlin in the spring or early
summer of this year a sort of Pisciculture
Exposition, in which however Batrachian
Reptiles &c will figure. Now I should
like—if all circumstances are favorable,—to
assist at such a display. But I do not know
anything positive about it and, unfortunately, I shall //
not be in Berlin in time to find out
and then to ask.
Will you then, Sir, kindly
help me by letting one of your attachés
make inquiries for me upon this subject
and write me,—enclosing any documents
on the subject which may be of service,—
to me at
Hôtel des Mines
125 Boulevard St Michel
Paris, France.
I hope to reach that city next Monday and to
be there for 3 or 4 days (only) before going Southward,
Thanking you in advance for the favor and
begging to be remembered with most res-
tectful regards to Mrs. White, I am, Sir,
Yours respectfully
Henry A. Ward
I bear with me from Professor Baird of the
Smithsonian a letter which will give me all
appui, du Cote-Scientifique, that the Exposition
Directors might require. H. A. W.

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.
