Transcribe Ward, Henry L. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-06-02)

both skin & skeleton with all help necessary. Everything that sailors after Sea lions can do. This seems to be the </u only > chance. The vessel leaves either Monday or Tuesday (Sat. to-day) and unless your telegram - that I hope to receive to=day or to-morrow should vetoe it I will go with them. If I don't get the </s money > lions I don't pay the money. There will be little chance of collecting anything outside of sea-lions. Little chance on other seals or birds. Nor in this case shall I go to Farallons afterwards for birds and eggs? Please answer </u immediately > either by mail if you get this direct, or telegraph if it is forwarded to you and is much delayed. If I take this trip I will probably be gone about two weeks.
