nwh 569 Lafayette Ave Brooklyn N. Y. May 9/83 Prof. H. A. Ward Rochester

       Dear Sir. - I have

been referred to you by Mess Casino ? Boston, I would state that I have a collection of shell, left by my father, Alfred R. Young - with whom you were acquainted, - which I am endeavoring to despose of.

       I would be pleased to

know if you do anything with this kind of goods, or can advise me of some plan to dispose of them to the best advantage.

       Awaiting your reply, I remain

Yours Very truly A. J. Young
