Transcribe Baker, A. B. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1881-10-12)

are being stuffed. Oct. 12, 1881

  We have sent Corning enough eyes to make his account $125. He

has paid $85. and will pay balance "in a little while". Have sold E .F. Knithan, Burlington, Iowa $75. of eggs, making $130. sales in that dept. in a month.

  Prof. Coulber sends $200. on account and will send " a con-

  W. H. Woodcock, Ft. Wrangel, Alaska, offered Sea Otter skel..

  During past few days there has been received $354. from

M.C.Z. $350. from Dr. Jayne, $200. from Prof. Coulber and $85. from Corning. Before this they were rather short at the office, so that I could not always get full al- lowance on Saturday - had to come again Monday. Sales for Sept. $1,120, expenses $950. Sales do not in- clude shipment to M.C.Z. (about $350.) probably about being made. Prof. Straight of Oswego writes that their bill will be paid in a few days - it had been over looked. Bills Receivable, Oct. 1, were $7,007. - are now a little over $6,000. Brought a list with me, but have mislaid it.

  Mr. Howell says I might mention that he had just rec'd

2[d?] $500. from Exposition.

  I came here on the 7th to help pack and hope to return

about end of next week. All was going well when I left. The 2 Mt. Goats for Bierstadt are ready & he has been notified. Mr. Lucas will write shop news - and perhaps some which
