Philadelphia June 28 1857

I send you by mail all the pins
which I can possibly spare from those
which we possess at present. The greater
part of them are old, but not less pro-
per for use. Of new ones I have added
as many as has left me about the
same number.

I expect in about three months time
to receive from Berlin 30000 having
sent by a sure hand, when you shall
have all that you wish. The present
parsel costs you nothing.

You mention the Mus Aureolus as
inhabiting the prairies. I much desire
to have specimens of this animal
having but one very bad one, which
was spoilt by lending to Audubon
This with any other species and the
bats of your part of the country will be
very acceptable

Yours truly
John Le Conte
