Transcribe Baker, A. B. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-04-14)

Syracuse, Ap'l 14, 1883 Dear Prof. Ward,

  Yours of yesterday

is at hand. I am very sorry to hear that Henry is so badly off. I have regretted that I did not urge him to see the Doctor when I was out at R. for these malarial troubles are more serious than they sem. I shall hope soon to hear that he is better.

  I have finally decided to write

Prof. Wilder and shall send off a letter this P.M. It </u may> help me; and can hardly do much harm.

  I shall have to have </u some > place

to send material if I am to get any.

  Please send me 40 smallest and

20 next size labels-I have </u none > here.

  I wrote Wayne for a list of

\what eggs he could probably furnish after the collecting season, and ordered as noted on his letter.
