Transcribe Barrows, Walter B. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1883-01-19)

       I will throw in the 15 poorer

skins making 156 skins for $35. -- or at the rate of 22 cents apiece right through - little & big -

       This A. M. Prof. Rice & I have

finished n analysis of a new mineral ^so far as we know^ for this locality - found associated with Columbite - thus far only in small quantities - It is Samarskite - only found else- where in Carolina & the Ural Mts. Yours hastily- Walter B. Barrows
