Dear Prof. Ward

    Will you please send us for

the S. A. I\T. the enclosed photographs of Marton's prices, and ask Mr. Bailley if he wishes to send the Rhinoceros photo., the one he mounted with Prevotil ? So far all goes well for the exhibition and thirty three members have signified intention to exhibit. Shall I send on specifications for the large panels to form walls of Taxidermists's Shop - concerning which please say nothing to the boys - and for one or two other things in the line of Lumber, all of course with understanding that it is to be paid for and become the property of the S. A. T. in the event of a successful show. We are hampered in the way of obtaining lumber and carpenter work here at any reasonable figure Have you received all my notes for Bulletin ? The drawings went to Moss. on Sat. Morning. Very truly your's Frederic A. Lucas. P. S. Will you not send on a brief description, to follow entry in Catalogue, of the Platypi group ? We wish to render the Cat. as attractive as possible and you could get a cut for Bulletin that we could use it would be very convenient - for the S. A. T.
