Dear R:

I would be very much obliged if you will buy the squirrels in the market and send them in the flesh, directed to me at Academy of Nat. Sci. Philada. - I will pay all Expenses -

Enclosed is the bill for eyes - make the man pay you, and keep the money - I give it to you - Enclosed also are bills for amounts due me in Chicago - every body else has paid - Some days ago I sent a pkg. containing my 10th no. - and the last, at present - I hope to go on some day, but I do not know exactly when, -

Please look to the Squrrels - I would like to have about 3 specimens of every species that you can buy - you may buy also any other animals brought to market - excepting Horses Oxen & Sheep! - we have verious specimens of them in Philada - I would like much to have any of the Weasels or Minks - Always glad to hear from you -

Ever yours J Cassin
