supply </s the > specimens of the Genera </s rep > numbered as follows in the printed list: 1122 (2) 1233(4) 1311(1) I will enclose a 1128(2) 1234(3) 1313 late letter from 1129 1236 1314(1) Mr Everett and 1135 1244(3) 1315(4) also a copy of the 1142 1245(1) 1316 last of mammals 1143 1248(1) 1317(1) he refers to. He 1145(1) 1255 1325(2) offers to collect 1154(2) 1259(2) 1326 small birds for 1156(2) 1260 1327 $3. per day. which 1157(2) 1261 1331(2) is much less than 1160 1262(3) 1332 I can do it for. 1161 1266 1339 for several reasons. 1166(1) 1267(2) 1342 I do not know 1174 1268(2) 1343 anything about Mr 1188(3) 1271 1348 Everett (except that 1189 1272 1351 he has lately been 1190 1274 1353 collecting birds in 1192(4) 1275 1354 the Phillipine Is. 1194(1) 1276 1356 for some English 1195(2) 1277(4) 1357 1196 1279 1358 1197 1282 (gentleman) but he talks 1198 1283(2) very fairly, and his prices 1200(1) 1585(sic) are in the main, certainly 1201 1286 very reasonable. Our 1204(3) 1289 future Orangs must come 1206 1292 from another party with 1211(2) 1293 whom I have solemnly 1214 1294(3) covenanted to that effect. 1216 1295(2) viz. A.R. Haughton, Esq. 1217(2) 1296 the man who put me 1221 1297(2) up to coming here. We 1228 1298 will get them cheaper & 1229(2) `1301(1) better of him than of anyone 1230(4) 1304(2) else, & one of my present 1231(2) 1305(2) assistants will prepare 1232 1306 them </u a la Hornaday. >
