nwh May 26th 1886 Prof H A Ward Rochester N. Y.

       Dear Sir
              Your favor of 24 inst

to hand and in reply wish to say that I do not like the to break the lot. There are only five skins and i consider fifty dollars very low for them We do not get large fur Seals every day. I consider the two largest skins the best in the lot. (They are males) & if you want them at $15.00 each i will send them to you. The largest skin measures 8 ft 4 inches & the Smallest 6 ft 5 inches. I think you ought to be able to use this lot. There is a Taxerdermist here who will but one & give me a good price but I don't want to break the lot.

       Hoping to hear from you by return

mail I Remain Yours trulyJohn Eichorn.
