Transcribe Nelson, Emily A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-01-12)

[another hand - Jan. 17] Jan. 12, 1876 327 Lake St. Elmira Jan 12' 76 Prof. H. A. Ward Dear Sir -

  Pray exercise your own judg-

ment, if you will be so kind, in reference to what you put in, remem- -bering that our students are </u not > fully developed paleontologists and anato- mists, and therefore would be apt to prefer something giving a general idea they could appreciate, rather than one illustrating some tech- -nicality of tooth or jaw or vertebra which they would not quite as well enjoy.

  I have been so extremely busy

that I had no time to compare the lists and prevent the blunders I might have seen which is my only apology for giving you the trouble
