Transcribe Pettitt, E. A. S. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1886-05-10)

ybg [at top of page - Rous Barillow have received no Catalogue at any time from you] Port Elizabeth May 10th 86 Oct 11. Dear Sir

    Yours of Mch 23 has just come

to hand but too late for me to note the fact of my having on May 1 sent you three (3) cases per Redman London Contents enclosed. I note that your Cousin still fails to understand any a/cs altho' you say my a/co nearly match & "we will call it ayes". Does this mean that you </s do > think you have received full value for your money & do not want the lot I still hold or what? I have also been puzzled

    Lastly you speak of Proteles

& Porcupines saying that </u 4 out of 5 > of each are young immature etc & worth only 1/11 of the value I gave. Now I fancy I am right in saying that only </u 1 > out of 5 porcupines was young and that I have not sent you </u any but adult >profiles
