Transcribe Edwards, Anna C. (Anna Cheney). Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1880-09-09)

to the Sem. & but which you would expect us to pay the expense of stuffing. & c. I chose from the list a </u cassowary > and proposed to raise the money ($40.) myself. Could you afford to let us have the cassowary together with such of your invertebrates as we may need sufficient to meet the sum required for the young lady"s bills? I do not wish to ask you to make any sacrifice but this will be exceedingly con- venient for us.

  If you agree please

let us hear from you soon. If the young lady is ready to come this year we shall be happy to see her soon. Respectfully, Anna C. Edwards.
