Transcribe Hornaday, W. T. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1879-11-03)

in his reply. Now what would you advise ? Do you know him to be a perfectly square business man ? His Magazine has so much confounded </u "bunkum" > in I am inclined to be more than usually cautious, although it may be only his way.

    Please let me know your opinion

and advice as soon as possible, if only a postal card, for time is precious now if we do anything atall. Would you put in more than $100. if you were in my place ?

    N. B.   Fred Howell was paid up by

the undersigned on time, principal and interest, and so was </u not > taught any "lesson" by me. The article for Harper's and sketches were sent last Friday, no news from them yet

    Will devote all this week to the orangs,

& will get them </s go > done. D. V.

    Yours very truly,

Wm T. Hornaday.
