Transcribe Pond, J. A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1881-06-01)

nwh 153 Queen St. Auckland June 1 1887 Prof. H. A. Ward. My dear Sir

       I received your letter

of 6th ? safely but was a little disappointed to find that you had not recd. mine but probably has since come to hand. It was addressed to care of Post Office Melbourne.

       However now to consideration

of your letter of 6th ?. On receipt of it I found as you had fairly remarked, some work cut out for me & at once placed myself in personal communication with Mr. Shipley. But here was a new difficulty the cases were still in his store but bills of lading, invoices & c. all made out & insurances expected. The goods were to be sent
