Transcribe Allen, J. A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1875-12-12)

either of the specimens back before that time, I should be greatly rejoiced thereby. If not - could I get - you to send me measurements of a few of the processed bones of the bull. by my giving blanks to fill out - with the devised figures ? Have been here about a month & shall be here for several weeks longer, arranging the {.asleatoy-] ciel collections.

              Very truly yours
                         J. A. Allen.
