Transcribe Hyatt, Alpheus. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-04-11)

with his training who will even try to do what you want him for, and I presume you will be careful to commit yourself to no agreement of a permanent kind until you have tested him. This of course is strictly private What price shall I put upon the Astrophytons? I do not know what to ask you for them. Bye the bye I wish you would send me a copy of my bill with the prices. I have not got a copy and would like to put them down in my exchange book as a guide for future reference. Very truly yours A. Hyatt. [another hand - Alpheus Hyatt} P. S. I shall probably go to Eastport this summer.
