Transcribe Hornaday, W. T. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-02-17)

necessary for me to ask for, of which the gorilla
must must be one. In other words I want to know
which of these the Museum has already.
Please let me know at once, so that I
can make ^out^ the necessary application.

                              Yours hastily,

                                             W.T. Hornaday.

P.S. I think we will get the hall we want in
N.Y. -- Masonic 10 days for $250, with the
chairs all up. [Studer?] made us believe
they asked $400 for one week! All they
asked him for one week was ----$150! He
evidently intended to charge the S.A.T. $400, &
pocket the difference. How does it look to
you?

           W.T.
