Dear Prof. Ward.

    The Nuttall Bulletin you

speak of is not mine, as Staebner sent that on some time ago. Will speak to Mr. True to-morrow in regard to the skins and tell him that you would be thankful for the small ones and more so for the large. Webster is here and enjoying himself with Hornaday who is off on his vacation. I am amusing myself with Fred's old friend the Meg. and Hill's special favorite the Hadrosaurus. They were .in the Smithsonian you remember. Now they lie in pieces in the New Museum and will be set up again as soon as they furnish me the new pedestals. It's rather odd that having lived so long in the particular habitat of Meg that I should wait until coming here before mounting him. Prof Goode told me to look around and see where he and Hadro. would look best and approved my selection of one on each side of the door at opposite side from main entrance.
