Transcribe Allen, J. A. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1879-09-08)

ybg Museum of Comparative Zoology, CAMBRIDGE, MASS. Sept. 8, 1870. Dear Prof. War

    We ?landed specimen

of </u Simia wrermbi > arrived safely on Saturday. I cannot, however, assume

the responsibility of taking it.  Mr. A.

will return in about two months, & I have no doubt that whrn he sees it he will wish to keep both specimens, but if either is returned I feel sure it will be the common species, so that in any case we shall keep </u S. wurnubi.>

    I forgot to speak to Mr. Garman

today about the Bornean frogs & will do so tomorrow. & if he wishes them I will either write you or get him to do so, to that effect. Very truly yours J. A. Allen
