<p>find time for a little quiet chat with you. I feel quite done up with doing nine days business in three. & it will rest me to write you a line, Yes, the S. A. T. <u> is </u> at last able to sing "How firm a foundation etc," and we can face the future without a doubt or dread. All thanks to Mr Carnegie who so generously cast the die <u> for </u> us. I immediately <s> can </s> saw Dr Holden and Prof Bickmore and we had a pow- wow. As soon as the latter learned that Studer is nor to have <u> anything </u> more to do with us, he came around handsomely, and took ho;d of our enterprize with earnest interest. He fully approved my suggestion of writing Mr Colgate to add a little to our fund, & gave me a good letter to him. He is also going to work in earnest to secure for Critchley & Webster the loan of specimens from the Museum, and I have his assurance that to a reasonable extent it shall be done if <u> he </u> can bring it about. Dr Holder is going to arrange for the opening ceremony - an address by somebody. I tried hard to persuade him to deliver the address and he said "My God. <u> I only wish I could!" </u> He has no confidence in himself, says he suffers from <u> stage fright </u>, etc. But I shall</p>

<p>page 2 continue to persuade him, and think he will finally screw his courage to the sticking point. He is going to help us out in the matter of getting out the invitations to the Reception. Thinks the Reception a good idea. The Dr. says that as long as your establishment exists they will never have any work done elsewhere. I praised your shipment of mammals <u> and</u> very highly, & they were duly pleased.</p>
<pre> I saw Mr Colgate this morning. The S. A. T. was a new thing to him, and he expressed a desire to look
</pre>
<p>carefully into the subject before <s> it </s> giving an answer to my invitation to contribute. Said he would go up to the museum and see Dr Holder & Prof. Bickmore. I think it likely he will give us something. I hope he will so that ^it^ you nor I nor any of the rest of us need advance a cent. We are all to closely pressed.</p>
<pre> But Professor we <u> will </u> need you <u> terribly </u> at the
</pre>
<p>crisis to help plan our preparations. I think we will have plenty of willing help, but it must be directed. Mr Lucas is a hard worker, and skillful, but he is not a good organizer. The worst drudgery of all is looking after the press, and if we have help enough I will devote a good portion of my time to working up the papers. I have the campaign all mapped out, and several good men enlisted.</p>
<pre> Tomorrow I will know whether we are to have the Masonic
</pre>
<p>Hall for a six days show. There was no one present but <u> Studer </u> at his meeting of the Board. & he went off mad, as Dr Holder discovered later in the day. <u> Just </u> as I thought. Studer would <u> never </u> have made that Ex. a success. The other members of the Board scarcely have any respect for him. My head aches, & I must stop. Yours hastily. W. T. Hornaday I will know by Thursday sure. Wallace is going to make a stunning show, He will surprise his friends ans silence his enemies! I got him to give the society a peacock and</p>

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.
