Transcribe Manigault, G. E. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1875-12-05)

next March I may obtain an appropriation to pay for it, but don't keep it for me with a chance of this being accomplished, as it might continue to lie on your hands.

I shall make every effort to secure the Sirens and

Amphiumas for you. The number that you want is large and I am sure cannot be reached in a season, but you may rely on my interest in the matter. Very Truly Your's G. E. Manigault
