Transcribe Aldrich, T. H. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-03-01)

nwh Dudley, Ala. Mar 1st 188 3 Prof Henry A. Ward Rochester N. Y.

       Dear Sir
             Yours of the 19th at hand

It is plenty quick enough to get those shells by the middle or last of march _ Hope the Catologue marking what I wanted has been received by you ere this,

       I have the catologue of the "Museum

Godeffoy" & have long thought of ordering a large number of shells from them. I suppose you could take the order & arrange to procure them for me?

       Years ago I visited your establishment

when Mr. Gilbert & I think Mr. Newton were working for you _ Yours truly T. H. Aldrich
