My dear Sir

    The Delphinusuite as my ? 

We shall want the ha elephant. for African Room 1 stuffed & 1 skeleton. You know I have a skeleton of the Bal. cisarctica up in attic shot unmounted. But is not good enough to mount I think - has no whale bone only a sample, - But I do not feel as with that I can't to have a second skeleton of the same species. My idea has been some of the mother & baby mounted on the other side of the finback and the sperm if I can get it on the other. How abt putting a sperm whale at the Azores? Yours truly A. Agassiz Prof H. A. Ward
