Transcribe Finsch, O. (Otto). Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-02-25)

I thought the best would be you reproduce the casts in your institute, and let me have a percentage of each sale, having full confidence in you, although I never had he pleasure to meet you. There are really now about 50 faces, but I think the best would be to send you a relation that you may judge by your own eyes. If you will stand the cost of transports and promise me not to reproduce them I shall send ou a dozen or so, what I think the most typical. But the great value of my collection areIs just the series, to show that individuality in wild races varier nearly even much as in civilized races. I send you a rough sketch Bre? 4/3 to show you the external of the casts, which as you know, represent true portraits of each individual. The price will be for single ones 5 Doll(=??) for the whole series. considerable cheaper. according to my views I think a considerable sale will be the case with these casts
