16 to 26 COLLEGE AVENUE (OPPOSITE UNIVERSITY) HENRY A. WARD, PRESIDENT </em Rochester N. Y., > Oct. 28 1891 Mr. Franklin Fairbanks, St Johnsburg. Dear Sir,

    ( am in receipt of your favor

of the 26th inst. By this mail I send you a ^series of our^ Catalogues in various Depart- ments. You will notice that while </u Casts of. notable Fossils > are but a small part of our business, we ^have^ still carried these to a very high status, both in Foreign and in American forms. My full list of Casts </s repress > enumerates some 1400 forms. But an important series of these is given in the "College Collection of Palaeontology" and Prof. Marsh Series of which I send Catalogues.

    As to the </u Megatheimun >, my regular

price for it mounted </s at > in your Museum building would be </u $620. > (I have just offered to mount it in State University of Nebraska for $650.) I should not wish to offer it alone to you for less
