Transcribe Baker, Arthur B. Letter to Ward, Henry A (1883-05-04)

I will prepare "copy" for remaining labels; if that will be any help. I have the necessary literature, except for bats.

  The egg catalogue MSS. I shall begin

on at once.

  Please give my regards to Mrs. Ward and

all members of the family. Henry, I hope is steadily gaining. I should be glad to have a line whenever convenient, as I am far enough from home to make letters not unwelcome, Respectfully yours Arthur B. Baker I would not have written with pencil had there been opportunity to use ink.
