Transcribe Winchell, N. H. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-04-11)

/u some > inferior workman & that you gave my job to them to do. I judge so also from the fact that you have-not charged, in your bill the full prices, as stated on a paper sent me by you dated June 22, '76.

    I have a </u caribou killed last winter in

this state, & I aim to get a complete suite of the Mammals of the state as soon as I can get them together. I hope to let you do them.

    In reference to the $18. worth of minerals

for the Elk head in interest - I have not speci- fied what I want for two reasons - But I have no made, but of my own species. 2nd I have no knowledge of what you have in your collection & do not find time to attend to it particularly. Let it stand at present & I will try by and by to fix out a specific order. Very truly yours N H Winchell [another hand- Newton Horace Winchell] [ybg]
