Transcribe Hornaday, W. T. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-03-06)

</u Enterprize Hotel >, Kept by Mr G.A. Fuller. The office of the U. S. Consul, - Mr Fulton Paul, as well as Mr Gallie's are in the same building, ground floor.

    We are living on about $1.25 per day

each, including rooms. Are both in splen- did health, and feel equal to the under- taking before us. I have not felt to well for six months as I have since getting to Trinidad. Do you want us to get any ore of the Caiman ( </u not > mississippi or Florida alligators) before we go home?

    The advantages of two hunting and

working together is beginning to tell now.

    I should perhaps tell you that it

is against the law to kill any bird in Trinidad or adjacent islands and will be for the next 3 years. We have to keep very shully about our doings up at Monus. \I will send you a little outline map with our routes on this island & around it marked out. We have been here just 2 weeks today.

    I will write you by the "Nutris" as it

returns from Bolivar, and then there is no telling when you will hear from us again. but of course will write by every chance. I hope you will not think this too long, but I couldn't shorten it a bit. Am sorry we cannot have letters from home for six weeks more. Please remember me to all the family. Yours very truly Wm T. Hornaday.
