Transcribe Baker, A. B. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1881-03-02)

mounting "Henry Clay" who makes quite an aristocratic looking skeleton, his proportions being rather finer that those of the ordinary horse. Bailly is mounting hog and seal skeletons. Elephant is ready for standards and is a remarkably fine skeleton.

Mr. Ord paid his bill and paid he was very much pleased with the belt. G. Brown. Goode writes that "the gentleman who has Ceratodus for sale is Thos. Baker, Maryborough, Queensland, Australia. Com. Pickering sent word about casts etc which it is needless to repeat. No word yet from Terre Haute.

Mr. Howell is waiting to take this down to the office so I will close and write again tomorrow.

Respectfully yours, Arthur B. Baker
