Transcribe Hornaday, W. T. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1880-11-24)

upon which we split in former times, & awarded to myself the </u execution >, to which you lately expressed yourself as having no objection.

    Please buy for me at least 1 dozen

copies of Harper's with the picture, & if the photos do not cost too much I would like a few of them. Say 4 or 5.

    I have a letter from Baird. He says

they will not be ready to fill the position of tax. in the National Museum for a year, because they cannot spare the funds. So it seems I am good for another year in Roch. unless something happens.

    David Bruce of Brockport has just

joined the S. A. T. and promises an exhibit of </u not less > than 25 cases of birds, sim- ilar to those in Power's Block . He did those.

  Tell me how you like the 

enclosed. Yours . faithfully Wm. T. Hornaday.
