</em Department of Ornithology and Mammalogy, J. A. Allen, Curator: > Dear Prof. Ward : -

    I send by express tomorrow

one mammal skin and twenty four bird skins, as per subjoined list.I have affixed what I presume to be a reasonable price in each case. Please be careful to return the tags, attached to the specimens to which they belong, as these give in each case a clue to the history of the specimen. Very truly yours J. A. Allen
