Transcribe Gaumer, Geo F. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-11-16)

In case you do not want any of them, telegraph the word no. This offer will not be made to any other dealer until I hear from you or until Nov. 26th.

       Enclosed I send you lists of

the birds and the number of speci- mens of each species. The numbers in black pencil shows the number of specimens. The others are my retail prices. I also send list of the eggs with retail prices. Of these there are a good number of each kind exccept a few as you will see. The eggs alone are worth all I ask for the collection There are between 800 and 1000. All are blown through one hole in the side and perfect. Am going to Cent. America for five years.

       Hoping to get a favorable

reply from you I remain. Yours truly Geo. F. Gaumer
