Transcribe Allen, J. A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-03-02)

nwh March. 2. 1876 - Dear Prof Ward

       The porcupine skin

I did not put in because it did not pack well, and forgot to cross it off my list. I will send it however, in a day or two by itself, & also a ? skull, if I find me near one.

       Please mount on common pine

?, with a primary of white paint, which can darken to grey tint to match the style of stand we have ? for mounted skins_ Very truly yours J. A. Allen
