Transcribe Chichester, C. D. Letter to Ward, Frank Addison (1885-02-10)

nwh Amagansett Long Island Feby 10/85. Dear Cousin Frank:

       I wrote you this morning

in a hurry asking for $25. N. Y. check to be sent to me at Southampton, not Northampton, for you have written Northampton in some of your letters. I now have all of the Armagansett carcass out of the water and most of it ready to cart to Rail Road, excepting the skull which we shall ^go^ at in the morning. The tail of one of the Whales has drifted to the East and I have sent word by the "Life saving men" to have any portion secured if found. On Thursday of this week I shall probably drive some 15 miles to the Eastward and pick up any portion of the back bone
