2 goats, antelope, & heads ? I would like to know in </u a week > if possible so as to enter them in the catalogue. The Catalogue must be made up by April 15th at the latest.

    Is our credit restored at the Democrat office ?

They print in far better style and for 2/3 th money the printers do here.

    I wish you would enter that cast of dead

Gorilla in the Hornaday Exhibit. You will know that I do </u not > mean the modeled monstrosity, which is not worth room in hades . May I enter the other in the Catalogue, & ^at^ what price?

    Also will you lend me ^to exhibit^ that antelope head I

mounted, if it was not sold to Bierstadt or anyone else ? Webster will remember it. What is its price ? Yours very sincerely, W. T. Hornaday. P. S. I have not yet tendered you my best thanks for the trouble you were at on a/c of our Hall in N. Y. "Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks: but I </u do > thank thee" nevertheless. It saved me a trying trip to N. Y. & the S. A. T. $25.
