Transcribe Allen, J. A. Letter to Lucas, Frederic Augustus (1881-04-14)

Cambridge, Apr. 14, 1881

Dear Mr. Lucas

The four boxes of mounted specimens arrived today in perfect order. Have approved a bill and turned it in for settlement. I shall wish, however, to return two specimens from this sending: (1) Aguila naevia, which is a duplicate of one sent nearly two years ago, except that it is not quite so good a specimen. (2) [Illegible] - a bad specimen.

Very [illegible] yours J. A. Allen
