Transcribe Draper, Paul. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-01-04)

Dear Prof. Ward,

  If these eggs </u are > strictly first class, and the prices

do not amount to more than 1/4 cat. price(which I should judge is the case) then I should think it advisable to take the eggs. I have not a catalogue at hand and cannot tell accurately as to price. Mr. Draper should understand, however, that the eggs must be in every respect perfect, for such boys are very likely to send shabbily prepared eggs. These eggs are </s all > all common species and ought to be good. Respectfully yours A.B. Baker </u Draper > Jan. '83 Whole Lat. by one list= If will take $600 cash I'd Take the eggs. otherwise not.
