Transcribe Hornaday, W. T. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-04-23)

[page 2] pay at least a part of the printer's bill. Unless they insist on the balance now I would be glad if they would wait a few days, for I will need all the rest of the fund to pay freight & express charges in New York.

       Our goods went Friday by steamer. We

will reach N. Y. ready for business Friday morning, & the boys must all be on hand then, to prepare in every possible way for the grand rush on Saturday. Who else, I wonder, will go from Rochester besides Webster? I would be glad to see others there if they could be spared. Of course we will see you there Friday, will we not? We intend to all stop at the same Hotel if possible as near the Hall as possible. Riker will tell us where to go.

       Do you want any more invitations?

Yours, in great haste, W. T. Hornaday Left margin Hand change Hornaday Apr. '83
