Transcribe Hornaday, W. T. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1879-09-21)

ybg Battle Creek, Mich Sept 21 st 1879. Dear Prof Ward:

    </u A thousand thanks > for the

$50. which came so promptly - just in time to save me from disgrace. You cer- tainly are my City of Refuge, to which I instinctively fly when all other resources fail in times of financial distress. My debtors in Indiana, Illinois do not use me right </u atall, > or in other words their treatment of me at this time is </u all wrong >. Well. I do not </s f > not forget favors very soon, Now to punish them and to be of some little service to you I have decided to not go to Indiana </u atall >, but will start from Here for Rochester about the 1st of Oct. That will gain two week's time for the orangs and our Iowa plans. I am getting positively </u feverish > to get out to Iowa
