Transcribe Allen, Rev. J. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1879-10-04)

ALFRED UNIVERSITY Rev. J. Allen, D.D., Ph. D., Pres. Alfred, N. Y. Oct 4 1879 Prof. Ward, Dr Sr Yours is at hand. I have not your invertebrate Catalogue. If I had I would not have needed to have sent for mine formation and I did. Please send me one. How many of a species Must I take to make them half price? I would like the whole list as far As classified or locality known. If not, I do not want them. I am making arrangements to purchase somewhat largely of Sand and Fresh water shells and fossils. Yours truly J. Allen
