Transcribe Allen, J. A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-07-05)

so there will probably be no trouble. Yet as it will have to be carried upstairs by men, perhaps it would be better not to position the Walrus to its pedestal, so that the two can be taken up sepa- rately.

       In regard to the Nelson collection, will

send list shortly. I have written twice to Mr. Cowles & get no answer. He is a roving fellow & my letters may not have reached him. So I shall now write directly to Nelson, who is in Colorado. As I ought to wait for his answer, it may be several weeks before I can send you final advise. Very truly yours J. A. Allen Probably you are smiling over a big cheque from here by this time !
