Transcribe Levette, G. M. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1874-09-07)

is mine and that you forgot to send one
for him. I'll let him snort a while
and then let him have it. Dont confess to
him that you made any mistake.
I must thank you again for the eggs,
every one you gave me is an additional species
added to my collection.
I thank you, also, for speaking to Bunker,
I hope to hear from him and can send
him good insects in exchange if he has what
I want.
I am sorry I did not ask you what
you would take for the whole lot of Birds
Eggs - in both drawers, If they are for
sale let me know the price
Kind regards to your family -
Please send me the name of that Monkey
Yours Truly
G.M. Levette
