Transcribe Haast, Sir John Francis Julius Von. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1876-08-24)

new discoveries will be made. There are lots of odd bones to be had & I can give a large case full of them, but it will be difficult to get skeletons. even as perfect as I sent them to you. I am against willing to refer any body in the States who wants Moa bones to you The photographer you kindly sent shows what splendidly specimens you derive prepares for your Exhibits in which from all accounts made are magnificent. I also observe with great pleasure I took of any past months the skeleton of [Donosaily] maximus I sent to the Smithsonian [faction] If you would offer me 300 pounds I could not get another like it. I wish on;y I had had your address some years
