Tauranga April 12th 1881 Henry A Ward Esquire Sydney Dear Sir

        On receipt of your favor 

of March 29th which did not reach me un- til April 6th I proceeded to obtain the Lizards and after some trouble to get large ones succeeded. To day I ahve shipped them. TWenty to Mr. Pond Auckland put up as per your instructions and I hope and think you will find them to your satisfaction. I fear I should not be able to obtain any more large ones exclusively at the same figure as it is only in the best of weather their habitats are accessible, which entails sometimes the loss of a great deal of time.

       I hope you will call on my cousin in Sydney

and just mention my name. You will find their place [?uldsworth] & Macpherson corner George & Market Streets

       Wishing you. every success and the 

enjoyment of health I remain

        Yours truly
       John Macpherson
