Professer Henry A Ward. Dear Sir,

  Will you be so good as to explain

to me the difference between the incomplete maniken of the Horse at $400 and the Complete, at $800? If we get the cheaper shall we not in a few years be sorry, and wish we had the more perfect article? Would you advise getting </u one > either horse or man. And waiting until the Summer of 1881 for the other, and have that one the best, or getting both of a less perfect Sort? Is there any other difference
