Dear Sir:
I write to ask you when it is likely that you will have completed the preparation of the skeleton of the whale, sent to you last year to be cleaned.
Our modeler is now at work making the papier-maché shell, which is to represent our-half of the animal. This, I suppose, will be ready in the course of a month or two. If at that time you can return to use the skeleton, it will enable us to make an immediate exhibition of this interesting object.
Yours truly
Spencer Baird
Prof. Henry A. Ward
