H.W. Martin, Esq. of Linden Steel Co. City

Dear Sir,

Your favor received and would say, in reply, that we have no special appropriation for the purchase of specimens as yet. We should, however, be much pleased to see your specimens, and would like to have our curator, Mr. Smith see them in order that he may judge of the advisability of adding them to our present collection. It is possible that some special arrangement could be made. I shall be pleased to hear from you further in regard to this matter.

With sincere esteem

Yours very truly

F. H. Gerrodette

N. R. Graham M.D. 48 N. Main St. Sharpsburg Pa.

Dear Sir,

Your kind favor of June 23d received and read with much interest. As yet, we had no special appropriation for the purchase of specimens however interesting they may be. Our policy is rather in the line of collecting specimens ourselves. Still, in order to keep up this work, it will be necessary to make purchases later on. I will keep your letter for future reference, and shall be very pleased to hear from you again on this subject and to receive any further information in regard to this interesting collection.

Thank you most heartily for your courtesy in letting us know of this.

Yours with sincere esteem

Yours very truly

F. H. Gerrodette

July 3d 1896

Geo. Fitzsimmons Esq. Mc Donald Pa.

Dear Sir:

Your favor of April 20th received and contents duly noted. Your phoographs are now in my charge, and you may be sure that they will be properly cared for. They certainly have a great interest in relation to local industries, and I think very likely we shall be pleased to place them on exhibition. Just at present, we are in a transition stage, and it is a little difficult to speak with certainty. If we decide to exhibit them, we shall be glad to see your later photographs. In any case I will let you know a little later

With sincere esteem

Yours very truly
