Transcribe Birge, E. A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-10-16)

ybg PARK HOTEL. J. Van Etta, Proprietor. </em Madison, Wis.,> Oct 16 1883 Dear Prof Ward

    Have just called on

Chandler at Sup't of Educa tion Office & talked Normal School collections to him . Told him that while he could do $400 to 500 ones, it seemed to me the proper figure for a 20 weeks course in zoology. I also offered to do anything I could in the way of advice &e in picking out a collection, should they buy.

    You had better see him I

think either today or later.

E. A. Birge
