amount of interesting material might be secured at the Paris Exposition and should arrangements be perfected in time I think it would be well to send there before the close of the Exposition and select the specimens.

I think I have sufficiently outlined the work of such a museum. It only remains for me to say that should such a collection be made I would respectfully make applications for the position of Curator of the Museum. As you are aware I have had considerable experience in this line of work and have a natural aptitude for it.
I can undertake the work at any time and would give it my full attention. Hoping that I may soon receive a reply I remain,
Very respectfully
Chas B. Turrill
