Transcribe Atwood, N. E. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1881-07-20)

Provincetown, Mass July 20th, 1881

Prof. Henry A Ward

Dear Sir,

I received your favor with post office money order for $ 7.35 balance due for three boxes of Horseshoe Crabs shipped you agreeable to your order.

The last box shipped was not all collected in one day and besides that the weather was warmer and I feared they would not reach you in good condition. Please send me a posted card and let me know how many died in that box and oblige.

Yours Truly N. E. Atwood
