<p>Dear Prof Ward,</p>
<pre> Your note was rec'd Saturday on my
</pre>
<p>return from Middletown. As regards the Agassiz collecting tanks, I am afraid there is not much hope, in this quarter. Every tank in the building is crammed full, and I am at the tip end of my wits to know what to do about fitting out a collector who sails for Lake Nicaragua on Saturday next. J. P. Estes, Cambridge, Mass., makes the cans and tanks for us. He furnishes a cylindrical tank 15 inches drain. 22 inches deep with 10 in screw tops at $13.00 and a size of same diameter and half the depth at $10.50 He furnishes boxes at $2.00 and $1.50 making the prices of tanks $15 and $12 respectively. These tanks are very serviceable for storage and would work well in collecting I think. Of course Mr Estes can give you any shape or size you like</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.

[Embossed] BRITISH MUSEUM
London
Zoological Department
13 Jan. 1876
Sir
I have seen today at the
College of Surgeons your list
of American Animals, & shall
esteem it a favor, if you
will regularly send me any
fresh editions of the same,
as well as inform me of any
rare or particularly fine
specimens which you may
have for sale in the future.
[Embossed] BRITISH MUSEUM
British Museum, if you
shall have fine examples
in stock. But, let it be
clearly understood in this as
well as in all future Trans-
actions between us, that the
specimens must be such as
have been killed in a wild
stare, and not mena? - speci-
mens of which we have already
too many; and further, that
they must be perfect. If you
should not have specimens
of this superior kind in hand,
I rather wait; on the other
hand you will /// find me
? to give liberal prices.
I am anxious that I should
receive as many of the specimens
enumerated in the list, as you
can send, before the end of
February as I wish to pay
your bill out of the funds of
our present financial year
which ends in the month of
March. And I request you to
inform me at your earliest
convenience, when & to what
extant you will be able to
execute my order.
All the boxes in which you
send specimens for the British
Museum, should be addressed
thus:
The Principal Librarian
British Museum
Contents: Zool. Dept.
London
We possess already a suffi-
cient number of the more
interesting species as well
as of the common ones.
Perhaps, you can get a copy
of my "Catalogue of the Fishes
in the British Museum"
(8 volumes) from which you
could easily see what species
we possess already. I do not
care whether the specimens
you send, are named or not,
provided that the exact locality
is known where they have
been obtained. Of large species
I wish large specimens, up to
2 feet in ?, beyond that
in skins fit for stuffing.
Please
Please let me know what
your prices would be for
such specimens.
I want Freshwater fish
only not marine species.

If you should not have specimens of this superior kind in hand, I rather wait; on the other hand you will /// find me ? to give liberal prices.</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.

I think the<br />Zoological Hall will not be dark when
finished. We propose to [cut?] it
with matched boards instead
of lath and plaster, to obviate
danger from the fall of plaster
from movement of students in
the Lecture room above. We
propose, however, to plaster
ceiling of Geological Hall, as
it has a new roof - and nothing
above it to shake down the plaster.
The tinners are now at work
on this roof, and ought to finish
it in a day or two.
We will try to give the walls
a good color. I did not know
but that you might prefer a
light brown, sandstone color, or some
thing of the kind to grey. I think,
however, that a light French grey is
safer. I trust our friend is relieved of
his troubles - Very truly yrs. C.W.C. Lee

Dear Sir: Excuse me for not before answering your letters - <u> but I will now Seriaties </u> to your first request for the Crustaceans, I found where I went to get them, that they were not to be found. I then sent a man who is used to such work to collect me a lot - but the cold had hurried them into winter quarters and ^in a^ whole days search got not a single specimen. Your <u> ? </u> did not find me able to discover the missing bottle. About the <u> Bears </u> I have kept a look out and have seen 15 or 16 but most of them were so young that the skeletons would be worthless and the only large ones were so mangled as to be useless The price from 25 to 35 dollars whole carcass skin and all. A week or so since in taking account of stock in my store the missing bottle was found & I will send you some of them. Now about those shells &. you sent me - I have duplicates of every one of them in abundance - and if you had offered me</p>

<pre> This is the 9th day since land-

<p>ing here, and we are going to leave for Port of Spain day after tomorrow on the schr. <u>"Ocean Traveller".</u> I think we have done very fairly here, and I do not see how we could have done any more in so short a time. I enclose a list of our collections to date. and I beg to add that our specimens are <u> all</u> strictly first class. We have had a good supply to choose from, of such kinds as are here, and have taken especial pains in preparing.</p>
<pre> First on the list you will see a <u>Peutacrinus
</u></pre>
<p>Mullerei<u/>, which we purchased of Mr Wildebon for L5. It is a perfect specimen <u> dry fastened on a board, stem 20 in in length, and in my opinion a fine specimen. As Mr Jackson and I both remember, your price on the one you</p>

Mr Wildeboer's price was $6, on which he stuck a long time as his lowest, but he finally said to me privately "My lowest price is L6, and I will <u>sell</u> it to you for that, but I <u>L5</u>. This is a secret between us." mHe has sent one to the Cente? which is for sale, but he protested from the start that the price he had fixed on that was L10. I to;d him if he offered it for less we would not buy this, as we could not buy specimens from him and then com- pete with him in the U.S. He said he was aware of that, and that was why he put this specimen at L6. I felt sue you would buy this if you were here, so we took it. It goes to you in the box we send from here.</p>
<pre> Flying-fish came in by cart-loads,
</pre>
<p>and scarcely <u>any</u> other fish. Mr W. says we are in the very worst season for getting fish, as only that one kind is caught during this month. Three barracuda came in but we did not take them. We have a fine lot of crabs - 7 species, and a fine lot of sea-eggs -?-, also star-fish 3 species ???. The first are the same as you need, from Panama, or at least very similar, but ours are all</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

<p>reached me today. I am here for two months giving the course on Anatomy at the Medical Department of Bowdoin College and can, therefore, do nothing at present concerning the affairs of the Natural History Society. As to the Mastodon, the affair does not rest with me but you may be sure that the trustees would never dream of having it moved. I am very sorry that I did not meet you again</p>

Dear Prof Ward
</p>
<pre> The porcupine skin
</pre>
<p>I did not put in because it did
not pack well, and forgot to cross
it off my list. I will send it however,
in a day or two by itself, & also a
? skull, if I find me near
one.
</p>
<pre> Please mount on common pine
</pre>
<p>?, with a primary of white paint,
which can darken to grey tint to
match the style of stand we have ?
for mounted skins_
Very truly yours

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.

<p>nwh <em> International Exhibition, 1876 BOARD ON BEHALF OF U. S. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS National Museum: Smithsonian Institution, Washington.</em> Marsh 4, <em>187</em> 6</em> Dear Professor,</p>
<pre> At present my appropriation will
</pre>
<p>not permit me to pay any thing on the skele -tons you have prepared; but I have strong hopes of an additional appropriation before long, & will then settle up.</p>
<pre> I do not think I care to have the
</pre>
<p>whales bones very white. A slight tinge of oil will not affect them, if they are only clean & free from a rancid smell.</p>
<pre> From present indications I hardly think
</pre>
<p>I shall have some room to exhibit much in the way of the skulls or skeletons of whales, & you can therefore take the usual course in preparing them. If we need them they can be sent directly to Philadelphia.</p>
<pre> I have had an offer of the loan of the whale
</pre>
<p>you sold to Evanston, but hardly know whether I can exhibit it. Prof. H. A. Ward Yours Truly Rochester Spencer F Baird N. Y.</p>

<p>Sterling, Montana. March 8th 1876 Dear Professor</p>
<pre> I am in receipt
</pre>
<p>of yours of Feb. 14th.</p>
<pre> The limited instructions which
</pre>
<p>you mention </s leaving > ^you were going to^ send by mail, as I requested, have not arrived</p>
<pre>& I have thought possible that they
</pre>
<p>might have been mislaid, or forgotten.</p>
<pre> I received the book & have
</pre>
<p>given your a/c credit with the price paid, with thanks for your kindness in getting it to me.</p>
<pre> I was very much surprised
</pre>
<p>over the information in yours of what the Directors of the Midas proposed doing: It was the first intimation that I have had that the co would take stock in Mr Gafney's enterprise, for our Mill.</p>

<p>though I have no knowledge of him outside of Montana, his general reputation here of trying to be a Mining Sharp", & utter want of truth or principle, is sufficient.</p>
<pre> I am rather sorry to learn
</pre>
<p>that such a man has the confidence of your uncle.</p>
<pre> It is hardly clear to me

<p>why no information has been given me of what the wishes of the Co were, in regard to trading for stock & e,</p>

<p>Your Uncle Selden, In a letter requesting an inventory of the mill & adjuncts, simply stated, that there was an oportunity to sell to a Rochester Co. & wished me to give him full information, as to its selling value here, which I did.^at once^ as also an Inventory of all the Co. property. Have had no word from him since. I have no correspondent in Rochester acquainted with the Co. affairs, & I hope you will write me fully of what is doing.</p>

<p>keeping of the property: that he did no know just what was left. & would like a complete inventory as soon as I could make it convenient. I had many things on my hands as you know at that time, & though fully intending to send the list, in the next letter I should write, & knowing from his letter that there was no present necessity for it. It was delayed longer than intended. & if any bargain was inferred by his not having it, then he might complain. However the Judoe would not say this, as just as soon as he needed it. it was sent.</p>
<pre> I know nothing whatever
</pre>
<p>of Mr Gafney's lode, except the opinion of others: I would take no stock in any of his enterprises.</p>

To make some dispositives, of their property in Montana: There seems now to be some prospect that they might exchange the machinery & movable int erest, for other property & Interest, which perhaps some day would give them something in return: They would get no money whatever. Now, of course, nothing of this kind can be thought of unless some division can be made with you: The co have lands lands & buildings there which ought to be salable. Now if we can effect anything here, what say you to a proposition. To give us your 1/3 interest in the machinery & movables for our 2/3 in real estate lodes & immovables. Have talked with a number of the stockholders & they are inclined to think that one ought to about balance the other What say you do it? Please let me know - each writing a Proposition that we can lay before the Stock holders: This is unofficial, as of course I could not well see, but few in interest, unless full</p>

<pre> I have received your letter
</pre>
<p>of the 10th inst. In my last I mentioned that Mr Howell had arrived; and yesterday morning, Your second as- sistant, Mr Applegate, made his ap- pearance. They are both now hard at work. I shall look for the locks towards the close of the month.</p>
<pre> With regard to your "Natural
</pre>
<p>Science Bulletin", we shall; be glad, I think, to have a place in it, And I will present your plan to our Faculty at the next meeting, which will take place next Monday evening.</p>
<pre> I expect to have to leave to-morrow
</pre>
<p>on a matter of business, to be absent</p>

<pre> The Brackets reached us about
</pre>
<p>two days ago. I am told that some few of them are longer than what is called for in your Specifications; but that there are a sufficient number of the proper dimensions. Will key you know of any trouble about them.</p>
<pre> All the boxes that will be

<p>wanted, for some time to come, have been brought up from the river, And to-morrow your assistants will go regularly to work in the Geological Hall - so Mr Howell informs me. Very truly Yrs. G. W. C. Lee</p>

<pre> Dear Sir
</pre>
<p>Your form of the 16th came today - I send by Eastern Express the 2 Cats frozen hard. they ought to reach you in good order as it has been before Zero here except near norm for some days - Last year I had a large order for W. Cats Lynx - Fishers _ Beaver etc to fill and engaged lots to be brought in by My Fur collectors. This year I am not collecting, but one of my collectors brought these in, and I had to take them, and prefer to get cost rather than have them skinned - I sold all I collected last year at 3$ - here - so you will see these are cheap enough - I have some times had singular specimens in my Fur collections though not often fit to mount. Have had White. Muskrats. White. Otter. Cream colored Mink. Sable. (Pine Marten) orange yellow all over but the head - also almost white. Plenty of white & spotted Deer - Foxes of all colors from white to coal black</p>

H. Stephens in Forth Company for instance, and to find that most of the descriptions in what pretend to be accurate descriptions in works of natural history, are mere fiction. They describe the animal accurately as seen dead or in captivity bur never take pains to observe the <u>real animal</u> or get any reliable information about them - Hurst's pictures I hope will do a good work. though his Beaver are wholy wrong - Please excuse this but I wish the habits of animals were better understood.

</pre>
<p>Dear Prof. Ward,</p>
<pre> I enclose herewith a copy of a letter
</pre>
<p>I have just addressed to Dr Spilman in reference to securing funds to finish out our display at the Cen- tennial, in view of the refusal of Congress, so far, to give us an additional appropriation. It has occurred to me that you might possibly know of some institution of sufficient wealth to own the series referred to.</p>
<pre> Of course, we are not bound to give up this to
</pre>
<p>one person rather than another. You know en- ought of the collection to understand that it is worth the price affixed, & that in an equitable division of the collection into two sets, much more than equivalent would be returned for the money. With the pro- deeds of such an arrangement, we could easily clear off all our liabilities, & furnish up every thing in a fair condition.</p>
<pre> Yours very truly,
</pre>

Cuidad Bolivia, Ven. S. A.
Saturday, April 1st 1876
Dear Prof. Ward:
</p>
<pre> Your kind letter of Feb 15th came on
</pre>
<p>the steamer last Wednesday, and we were very
glad to hear from you in particular. You must
have my Barbabos & Trinidad letters by this time
as I have written you by <u>every mail.</u> We have finished
here, and leave tomorrow, going on the steamer s far
as Barraneas - 140 miles below - where Mr Silver
and his his boat will be ready for us. I think I
may say we have been reasonably successful here,
we <u>certainly</u> have for the locality, and I am sure
</p>
<pre>we did well <s>to</s> in remaining here. But the people
</pre>
<p>here told the truth when they said there were no
mammals in this neighborhood, sorry to say. We
have spent several days hunting crocodiles, and
captured four large ones, i. e. over ten feet long.
But it was the hardest of work to kill them, they
are so very wary,
</p>
<pre> Have 2 large turtles s you will see by the
</pre>
<p>list. They are much like the "Terrakija", but
four or five times as large. They are apparently
big <u>Emys</u>, and will make fine looking skeletons.
These came from far up the river and are the
only ones that have ben brought here since we
cme. We have "ordered" manatee far and
wide up and down the river of fishermen , and
Indians, but none have been killed as yet. My
hope is the delta, and we will unite every effort to
raise them there inside the next month. I
hope for great things now. The delta <u>must </u>
pan out. We are going first to a place
that is merely a name almost called
Sacupaua, on the main river about

noted for animals, and manatee are said
to be found in a River near it. Our plan
is to get in with all the Indians we possibly
can, and have them hunt the manatee also.
Salt <s>is</s> <u>cannot</u> imported so we could
not bring any from Port of Spain. And here
we were obliged to pay $8.00 for two sacks of
$1.50 lbs each, rock salt at that. This gov-
ernment is just worth its <u>salt</u> and not a
reale over. Poor as Lazarus. Depend upon
</p>
<pre>it that we shall <u>save</U. any skins of manatee
</pre>
<p>we may be fortunate to get. We
are taking 25 lbs of powdered alum, and
300 of <s>slo</s> salt. Barrels, boxes, and so on.
</p>
<pre> We have been living on $1.25 each per day
</pre>
<p>counting all expenses for rooms and food. Have
eaten just eight meals at the Hotel table.
</p>
<pre> We send all our specimens collected here
</pre>
<p>to Mr Gallie at Port of Spain to hold for
us until we return to that place. The
Geological Specimens are all in one <u>big</u> box,
and I have a small box of stones for Messrs
Ward & Howell. When we get to Trinidad
we will then ship everything home, and there
will be quite a lot of it. In fact there is already.
Everything we have collected here has been
prepared with the greatest care and success,
and are strictly first class.
</p>
<pre> I am happy to say that our health con-
</pre>
<p>tinues <u>excellent</u>, and we feel in good trim

4 April, 1876.
Prof. Henry A. Ward,
Rochester, N. Y.
Dear Sir:
</p>
<pre> Yours of the 31st ? has
</pre>
<p>just been received, and contents
noted: Mr Howell thinks that
he and his assistant will finish
their work by next Friday or Saturday.
They have been so steadily at it that
I have been able to see very little
of them; and they appear to have
done everything in a very satisfactory
manner.
</p>
<pre> From present appearances, we ought
</pre>
<p>to be ready for you by the 1st May ~
certainly by the 10th ~ and shall
be glad to see you here whenever
it may best suit your convenience
to come on. Will let you know
as soon as possible the exact date
</p>

<p>Very respectfully yrs.
G. W. C. Lee
P. S. What the carpenters wished
to know is this ~ The specific -
cations call for cases, in Zoological
Hall, 8 ft. high; base, 14 in.; doors
5 ft,; cornice, 12 in,; ~ 10 in. required
to be added to make the 8 Ft.;
and the carpenters did not
know whether to put this 10 in.
in the base, making it 2 ft. high
instead of 14 in., or to proportion
it between the base and the cornice.
Not hearing from you , they have
put the 10 in. on the base, and it
looks very well. The brackets are
all right.

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.

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.

<p>[page 1] <em> International Exhibition, 1876 BOARD ON BEHALF OF U. S. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS National Museum: Smithsonian Institution, Washington.</em> April 7</em> 6 Dear Professor,</p>
<pre> I have been awaiting with some inter
</pre>
<p>-est the receipt of your answer to my letter proposing an arrangement by which we may receive certain funds, in return for a magnificent series of minerals. The exigency in this case is very ?, as our funds are so nearly exhausted that I am unable to settle my account with you, or even to venture upon forwarding the col= lection now here, to Philadelphia.</p>
<pre> ? has suggested another idea, which perhaps
</pre>
<p>you can cause to bear fruit, in connection with some of your contacts for supplying public Museums.</p>
<pre> I think Prof. Henry would authorize me to promise
</pre>
<p>provided the object be to equip a college or scientific Museum, to select a series of duplicates generally from our stock, to include a very nearly complete collection of all the rare birds of North America, the mammals, some skulls & skeletons, with reptiles & fishes straight through, & the ethnological specimens & part of the series of minerals referred to. To this might be added a fair show of shells & other marine</p>

<p>[page 2] objects. You well know how rich we are in all these matters; but perhaps do not fully appreciate the mag -nitude in some directions. I am quite sure, however, that so far as illustrations of the natural history of North America are concerned we could supply more & at short- -er notice, than could possible be procured elsewhere.</p>
<pre> I have not time now to do any ^thing in^ this matter; ^of solution^ but as
</pre>
<p>soon as the Centennial is over, in the general rearrange -ment of the Museum, there will be an opportunity.</p>
<pre> We, as you know, do not sell specimens, but
</pre>
<p>a contribution of certain funds to enable us to make a centennial display would be considered an equivalent for the series in question.</p>
<pre> While the second set of the Smithsonian Centen-
</pre>
<p>-nial, Mineral Collection, would be fully worth, in- -trinsically & scientifically, $15,000, as first mentioned, I think that the present series, to include a fair show of the minerals, would be cheap at $10,000, a sum which I fear is as little as would answer our pur- poses. I am quite sure that you could not fo- rage elsewhere to so good advantage as in our store rooms, especially in view of the fact that we expect an enormous material in the way of con -rributions from foreign exhibitors at the Centennial.</p>
<pre> I have not given up the hope of getting an appropriation

<pre> I enclose herewith a formal letter. in
</pre>
<p>reference to our emergency as to friends in regard to the Centennial. The failure of Congress to make an ap- propriation in time has rendered it impossible for me to move any further in the way of transporting these collections to Philadelphia. Perhaps you can work this in with some arrangements for the Brooks in connection with the Southern Collections. The series could be divided into two so as to meet the wants of two institutions.</p>
<pre> Of course you can show my other letter to

<p>Mr Brooks, if you think proper. I can only hope you maybe able to do something in the matter, & help both yourself and the Smithsonian exhibit. Say nothing to ? parties Yours truly, about this suggestion Prof. Henry A. Ward. Spencer V. Baird Rochester. N. Y.</p>

<p>Dear Professor,</p>
<pre> Thanks for your letter of the 10th,
</pre>
<p>& your willingness to lend us some aid in the matter of the collection. Unless I have an ^actual^ appropriation, however, made available at a subsequent period, say the 1st of July, I could not borrow the money to which you refer. Perhaps, however, you can make use of enough of the ^money^ to cover the cost of the batch of skeletons which you forwarded some time ago; & for which, if we get no appropriation we will furnish you entirely from our duplicates that will answer the same purpose to you as the money. Sincerely Yours, Spencer Baird Prof. Henry A. Ward Rochester N Y</p>

<p>Basel den 13 April 1877</p>
<p>Werthester [Wertester] Herr Professor!</p>
<p>Aus Ihrer gefälligen Mitteilung vom 11 dz. erfahre ich dass Sie nach Stuttgart gereist sind und da ich Ihnen etwas zu schreiben habe so schicke ich diesen Brief durch Herrn Professor [illegible] weil ich Ihre spezielle Adresse nicht weiß.</p>
<p>Herr Gätzinger hat wie ich Ihnen mittheilte die Modelle fertig und vollkommen verpackt und möchte sie abliefern da er wie mir scheint Geld nötig hat.</p>
<p>Ich muss demnächst eine Reise nach Norddeutschland und sehr wahrscheinlich auch nach Dänemark machen und möchte daher von meiner Abreise alle Ihre Sachen expedieren weshalb ich Sie Fragen möchte ob ich Alles einpacken kann. Wären Sie doch über Basel gereist denn es wäre ja nur ein kleiner Umweg von Paris aus gewesen, ich hätte es gerne gesehen damit Sie sich über überzeugen konnten dass das Herbarium, die Muschelsammlung, kurz Alles in Ordnung ist, ich hätte denn in Ihrer Gegenwart gerade das Ganze eingepackt. Nachdem mit den Crustacean das Unglück geschehen ist bin ich ängstlich und es liegt mir doch daran Sie in allen Teilen zu befriedigen so dass wir auch ferner noch Geschäfte zusammen machen können. Ich bitte Sie, sehen Sie ob Sie es einrichten können von Stuttgart für einen Tag her zu kommen, wenn Sie morgens um 5 Uhr in Stuttgart wegfahren so sind Sie schon Mittags um 1 Uhr 25 Minuten hier und Sie können schon der andern</p>

<p>Tages wieder in Stuttgart sein. Ich würde Ihnen zeigen wie das Herbarium geordnet ist, Ihnen mancherlei [illegible] darüber geben können die ich schriftlich gar nicht so genau machen kann. Den Catalog könnten Sie mitnehmen. Zudem würden Sie bei mir und Herrn Haseus manches Neue sehen, ich habe erst in letzten Tagen neue Sendungen bekommen dabei auch ziemlich viel [illegible]. Können Sie aber nicht kommen so schreiben Sie nur gefälligst bald damit ich Ihre Sachen expediere da ich in etwa 10 Tagen abreisen will.</p>
<p>Klyrmecaphaga ist alt und sehr schön, ich habe Balg und Skelett für die reserviert. Das andere Exemplar ist auch alt aber es ist nicht so groß.</p>

<p>Panama N. G. April 14th, 1876 Prof. Henry A. Ward Dear Sir, your regis- treed letter of Mar. 29th reached me yes- terday. I would have got it 3 days earlier but I did not write at the Consulate until the package containing the reg- intered letters was opened. Our Consul sent me word that it awaited me, and I called and got it, The letter was no less acceptable than the enclosed $30. You have doubtless, been informed e'er this, why your Jan. 28th letter did not reach me on time. But as I have it now, I am better informed of your wa- nts, and will </s kno > all that circumstances will permit, to secure such material as will suit you. I added another me- dium sized Sloth to my Gbl. yesterday. It is not easy for me to determine; but I think, one or two of the large females I have </u now > in alcohol, contain the embrio,</p>

<p>have not yet indicated anything in that line, as yet. If I dared to spare funds for a couple of days dredging, (for which I am well prepared) I could soon fill the cask with desirable material. On the whole I think you may safely count on receiving the two packages early in May. I will get our Consuls certificate to invoice, which may expedite their passage through pur- gatory in N. G.</p>
<pre> A few days ago, a man came to question me
</pre>
<p>in regard to prices I pay for Mammals & c I thought him very much in earnest, until he proposed to bring me some of the ra- rer animals for less than 1/4 what others had declined to bring them for. But when I told him I would pay him more than double what ^he^ asked, for </u good > Specimens and even more for extra good. He seemed to go off with a severe turn of hunting fever. </u Something may > result from it. If nothing more, than his making an other call, in a day or two, to borrow money to buy ammunition with. </u Aqua dictum > though he did not look like an innebriate.</p>

<p>I have five of the largest and three small with prehensile tails. Two of the 1st had the young clinging to them; And also, one of the latter. - I can not learn that they ever have more than </u one > at a birth. I am slowly getting together the radiater you mention. But some of the most desi- rable, are found at the pearl islands. As is the case with many things which I have not sent you; though I think you would be much interested in.

And to employ natives for special collections. I have used to very good advantage, from $75 to $275 on a trip of 8 to 14 days. My ex- penses for boat & assistants, from $4 to $5 pr. day. I have several promises of such ma- terial as I have usually collected there,</p>

I believe my 7 years deal- ints with them has increased their confi- dence in me. As I have always dealt square with them; though occasionally bringing some of them up with 'sound turn' for extortion &c. The alcoholic specimens now on hand I have placed in a 42 Gal. alcohol cask; after cutting a 10 inch hole in one end; using rubber packing, over which I with 14 screws se- cure a board cover.

<p>Now in relation to the Galapogos Isls, I believe I mentioned them in my list. I have got the impression that the fauna differs but little from the main land. The "Tortugos" or land Turtles being the principle exceptions. But as I found more territory in this vicinity, those I could satisfactorily examine, with the funds at my command, I have not tried to gather information in regard to them. Something like 5 or 6 tears ago, Com. Eastman of the U. S. sloop of War Nyas, who had recently spent several months there, in making surveys and soundings, gave me a very interesting account of his impressions there to. Though Natural history was not in his line. Since then I have read a very brief account of Prof. Agassiz's visit in the Hasler expedition. But if I recollect right, his stay there, was too short to determine much in relation to them. I have simply asked one person, since making this letter, is moderately well informed he thinks a suitable vessel for the trip would cost about $250. per month* would make the </u passage from home in 8 to 10 days.</p>

In regard to Antiquities, I am confident that a little exploration will disclose the fact that several of the pearl isles were densely populated by the 'Antiquos' or ancient Amiousant. I have a few Storus axes & c which were found there. And I think I will send them to you with my next shipment. These were picked up by the natives while cultivating their small plantations.

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.

<p>On the Delta of the Orinoco Sixty miles from the north. Apr 19th 1876 Dear Prof Ward:</p>
<pre> The "Anita", Capt Lecraw,is just going
</pre>
<p>by our shanty, on her way to N.Y. so in her cabin I hurriedly scratch you a line. We are well. hard at work, and doing very well in hunting. Are getting howling monkeys, capybara, blue & yellow and red & blue macaws, turkeys, ibis, & c. & e. Are now in the very best ground, where we arrived today. Have men, dogs, and boats, and are doing things to very good advantage, and it costs us almost nothing at all just now. We will be very likely to be kept here until the steamer that goes down May 19, for it now seems impossible for us to get our work done here by the 2nd of May as first intended: We are in </u splendid > health. Today Jackson & T paddled a canoe 18 or 20 miles & felt well over it. No time for a word more, as it is night, and we are far below the shanty now. Will have much to write you</p>

Original line breaks, punctuation, abbreviations and spelling have been preserved
in the transcriptions and underlining and strikethroughs have been encoded.

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

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.

<pre> You letter enclosing

<p>Bill of Miss E. F. Holbrook & Bros. for Glass
Came to hand this Morning . The ?load was
recd by mail several days ago. But would not
answer- So I ordered some through a hardwood
merchant of this town which I hope will
suit - I had not paid Miss Holbrook & Bro.
because they had sent me no bill & I had
no idea of amt. due them. They sent me
a receipt of Old Dominion Steam Ship Co. for
the glass but no bill. The glass has arrived
& this morning I have sent them My draft
for $201.09 amt of their bill sent by you.
The cases are all ready except the hinges for
the Sash doors - which I ordered some time
ago - thro a hardware merchant in Balto. &
hr wrote that he had not that particular
size ( 3 1/2 x 3 1/2) but that he had ordered them.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Damascus
Aug 19th 1876
</p><p>Dear Sir,
</p><p>In answer to your inquiries
in your letter of July 10th, I am sorry to
say that the direct road across the
desert from Damascus to Bagdad is
generally unsafe, and especially so this
year. An English post is regularly sent
across the desert with an Arab on a camel,
but although no valuables are sent by it,
it is sometimes robbed. A few travellers
have at different times crossed along with
this post, but one at least was robbed on
the way. It might be possible to make
an arrangement with some of the Arab
tribes to take you across in safety by the
payment of a considerable sum to the Shickh
of the tribes, but making the arrangement
might involve some delay. I believe a more northern route, via Aleppo & down
the Euphrates to Bagdad would be safer
but I am unable to give you any particulars
in regard to it.
</p><p>Yours very truly
</p><p>John Crawford
</p><p>Mr. H. A. Ward
</p><p>Crawford J.

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.

<div class="mw-parser-output">
<p>Sept.74 "Glen Iris" Portageville P.O., N.Y. Aug 24th, '76 Prof. Henry A. Ward No. 2 College Avenue Rochester, N.Y. Dear Sir,</p>
<pre> I learned last
</pre>
<p>evening from Prof. Smith, Principal of the Female Seminary at Pike, and Chairman of the Committee having charge the remains of the Mastodon, that little else had been done to the bones found, than to varnish them with a coating of glue. I strongly urged upon Mr. Smith the importance of placing them at once in the charge of a scientist, and he agreed with me, without he was over ruled from doing so, to at once forward to you at Rochester by U.S. Express. the bones packed in saw dust. Each tusk will be packed ^in^ a separate box and such fragments of tusk as it is not known to which they belong, will be sent in a separate package and marked as doubtful.</p>
<pre> I told Mr. Smith that I would be
</pre>
<p>responsible to you for putting the bones in a good condition</p>

<p>for preservation. Mr. Smith and myself will be greatly obliged if you will place them in the hands of a competent person and instruct them to be properly preserved and then packed away with care, awaiting further instructions. After your return from Europe and the East we will again take up the subject. Will you please be particular to have the smallest fragments preserved.</p>
<pre> Please direct the bill of charges to be sent
</pre>
<p>to me and I will remit at once for the same. As I have no authority to make any expenditures and do so only in promotion of the general interest, you will please cause no further expense to be made than is necessary to put the bones in the very best state of preservation, putting, perhaps, the broken fragments of the tusks together. I remain Dear Sir, Very Sincerely Yours, Wm.. P. Letchworth</p>

more the less for your kind offer to take
any pledge & I might wish to send.

<pre> I have not heard from Genl Stone

<p>since I last wrote you, but I have
as coming from some of Col. Lockett's fam-
ily (in S. C. ) that he *(Lockett)^ has had a touch

<p>[another hand - Collecting Sept 15 with Postal Orders $200.] Sterling, Montana, Aug. 26th 1876. Dear Professor, Your letter of the 13th just arrived. I did not receive your telegram. Probably for the reason that, lately the telegraph co have given up trying to keep the line up & working, & have com- menced to rebuild it. However it is just as well. No word yet from Mr. Wheeler, but he will probably write me, as soon as he receives your letter, referred, to, & Then I will get them right off. He cannot be blamed for writing you, & I am glad he did so; It was hard enough for him, to stand the deduction in price, without having to pay the interest on the amts he was continually importuning me to advance. If he does not write me within a week, I will ship to you, My own specimens, & sufficient of his. to cover what he is owing me, I have lately secured 1. skin & skeleton of Rattlesnake same animal) The snake measured 4 ft. in length & was a very large one.

I did not see, how I could be of any assistance to you, & did not expect that the refrense could be lessened in that way. am grateful for the kind invitation, which it is not possible to accept.</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.

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.

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.

<pre> I have your letter of the 10th,
</pre>
<p>with the accompanying enclosure. I am sorry to say that i do not see how I can pay the amount referred to at present. We fully expect -ed to be able to liquidate all our liabilities by the beginning of the present fiscal year, but Congress cut-down our appropriation from the estimated $25,000, which we expected to get, - to $10,000, on the plea of the necessity of reducing the expenditures to the utmost extent, thus leaving us $15,000 short, - a deficiency which you can readily imagine is almost fatal to us in the circumstances. Indeed we expect to close the building during the coming winter, as we cannot afford the coal required to keep it warm.</p>
<pre> We are promised from several sources
</pre>
<p>that a deficiency appropriation will be made as soon as Congress meets, & we live in hopes of that; otherwise, our condition will be bad indeed.</p>

<p>here I think we may be able to save something out of the Centennial appropriations, but this I cannot very well ascertain before November.</p>
<pre> I had not the slightest idea that so much
</pre>
<p>material had been sent by you, or that the cost would be so great -, although of course the speci -mens are worth all the labor that has been spent upon them. Yours Truly, Spencer F Baird Prof. Henry A. Ward. Rochester. N. Y.</p>

<pre> Since writing you about the
</pre>
<p>skeletons & my inability to pay for them, it has occur- -red to me that possibly I may dispose of some of them to Cope or the John Hopkins University, & shall offer them at whatever may be considered a fair rate beyond the cost of preparation. Would it be too much to ask for twice the cost of mounting? I am sure there are several species that are lacking in Cope's Collection that he may be willing to buy. I will let almost anything go in the series, for the sake of securing the means to pay the cost of preparation, as I can easily get more whenever they are specially needed. Yours truly, Spencer F Baird Prof. H. A. Ward. Rochester. N. Y. Left margin P S Dr. Murray office to take some of my Skeletons</p>

Prof - H. A. Ward,

<pre> Care of S. L. Merchant U
76 South Street,
N. Y.
</pre>
<p>My dear Sir:
</p>
<pre> Your telegram of 15th inst
</pre>
<p>came duly to hand. I had supposed you
had sailed about 10 inst, and had
therefore given up all idea of being able to
send my package by you, But
altho I am not yet ready, I have
directed a friend in N. D. to forward to
you what (little) we may have of
my expected budget - for Even & Stone.
And I presume the package will leave
N. D. to-day . and be in Mr Merchants
care when you call. I hope you this
letter will await yr call at the same
point.
</p>
<pre> I envy you your trip. I have

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>no doubt you will reap both pleasure
& profit from it.
</p>
<pre> I see that some </u Virginian > has
</pre>
<p>written back from Egypt to a friend in
Richmond, Va, that </u all the Americans
in the ? service are to be </u dis-
charged >. But I can hardly credit-
</p>
<pre>it. Possibly, if there is any truth
</pre>
<p>in it, Mr Nusbout may know
something about it. At any rate,
I trust you shall find him & (?)
Col. Lockett in Cairo - You
will be charmed with Lockett. He is
one of the kindest and & best tempered per-
sons I ever knew, and very intelligent
withal. Genl. Stone , I only know by character ^& correspondence.

<pre> Wishing you a safe trip. and an

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.

<p>nwh <u>49.994.</u> Sept. 25, <em>1876</em> Dear Professor.</p>
<pre> I wish the circumstances were
</pre>
<p>more favorable than they are for paying your bill at once; but I really do not see what I can do until I hear from of the parties to whom i have offered skeletons at reasonable rates. I think, however, we might make out a bill of about $500 against Dr ^Murray^ <s>Cory</s>, & would be glad to have you suggest a list of what would be most serviceable to him. I think the better plan will be to let you furnish them direct & thus charge a little more than for the cleaning. We put the trans- action on the basis of paying you for your labor partly in specimens. I will, however, do all I can to have something for you out of the other ap- propriations at my command; & as you do not leave until the end of November there will be a better opportunity for doing this. Possibly I can squeeze out of the fishing appropriations enough to cover the cost of preparing the whales.</p>

Dear Sir:

<p>I find here on my return. With the
continued depression in all business inte-

friends of the Academy of Sciences,
who could advance funds to make
the purchase of the valuable casts
left with us. We do not like to
give them up, but fear we shall be
obliged to, according to the terms of
our agreement.
</p>
<pre> How valuable will your jour-
</pre>
<p>ney ! I wish it was possible for me
to accompany you. You will carry
with you the warm wishes of many,

up this for $10. extra. Was
I Mistaken in that?
Yours truly
