Pear Collins;- 
Yours o 4 * the °th is at Yard, T will 
keen a little watch of* the T'esocarrue and T can catch it in 
good fruit you shall have so^e. T was well aw^re-of course, 
that most of the Caen# A 1aae were not in the rro^er condition 
for the "best work, as T collected only w v en the snirit moved 
me, that is , when T seemed, to hav© a lit 4- !© time whe^ rhotogranhs 
or Fryorhvtes did not need much or any attention. 
T am quite sure that T should have no time to overhaul 
and arrange the A 1 gae within a month it* thev should he returned 
immediately so there is reallv no veed o 4 * ^olng so unless you 
wish to get them out of your way 
v erv truly,
