AND THE LOWER JAWS OF THE OTHER IN PLACE TOGETHER AS
ONE HEAD. THE TEETH CLASHED TOGETHER AS ONE MOUTH,
THE BRONTO BEING THE SKULL AND THE PAIR OF TITANO JAWS
AT THE BOTTOM, TEETH UP, - ALL AS ONE HEAD. FOUND IN THE
THESE POSITIONS IN THE BAD LANDS. I AM TO GET OUT A
NEW CATLG AT ONCE AND YOU WOULD GRATIFY ME VERY MUCH
WITH A LITTLE INSTRUCTION. HAVE THESE NAMES BRONTO &
TITANO BEEN RECLASSIFIED OR CHANGED IN ANY WAY, OR DO
THEY REMAIN THE SAME, -AS NAMES OF TWO GENERA?
WHAT DO YOU CALL THE DEPOSIT IN WHICH THEY ARE FOUND?
I HAVE A NEWLY FOUND AMMONITE AS PICTURED AT THE HEAD
OF THIS SHEET. CAN YOU TELL ME IF IT IS A NEW SPECIE
OR ONE THAT HAS BEEN SEEN AND NAMED BEFORE IN SOME
OTHER LOCALITY. IT IS A CURLED, CORRUGATED ANIMAL
IMBED IN A SANDSTONE NODULE. FROM 10 TO 20 LBS. I.E.

WEIGH THAT. IT IS A SLATE COLORED CONCRETION.
PLEASE GIVE ME AN IDEA OF ITS NAME OR IF YOU THINK I

-EATLY OBLIGE

DEAR SIR:

UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR LETTER OF FEB 7TH I CONCLUDED TO SEND YOU THE 4 SPECIMENS OF MENODUS & OUTLINED FOR YOU PREVIOUSLY. I SO TELEGRAPHED YOU.

I SHAAL TRUST YOU NOT TO USE THEM FOR MEASUREMENT OR DESCRIPTION UNTIL SOLD TO YOU. IN CASE OTHERS WANTED THEM AT A BETTER PRICE THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO GIVE I WOULD NOT CONSIDER IT FAIR TO THE PURCHASING SCIENTIST FOR YOU TO POSSESS MEASUREMENTS AND DESCRIPTIONS. ON THE SCORE OF YOUR PAYING WHAT WE MAY AGREE ON, IF YOU BUY, I HAD NO HESITANCY TO SENDING THEM ON APPROVAL. I DID EXPRESS MYSELF WILLING TO SEND ON APPROVAL BUT WHEN I DID SO AT TIME YOU WERE HERE I CONTEMPLATED HAVE SOME STIPULATED PRICE, AND THEN SENDING ON APPROVAL. BUT I CAN READILY SEE THE DIFFICULTY IN MY PUTTING A PRICE ON ANYTHING I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. I DO KNOW SOME THING ABOUT THE DESIRABILITY OF THE MENODUS. IF AN ENTIRE -LY NEW ANIMAL TO ME I WOULD KNOW NOTHING OF ITS VALUE AND WOULD MYAVE TO TRUST YOU TO GIVE ME WHAT IT MIGHT BE WORTH.

I GOT AN IMPRESSION FROM THE MANNER OF YOUR TRADING WHEN HERE THAT YOUR VIEWS OF VALUES AND MINE WERE TOO FAR APART. I THINK YOU GOT THE LARGE SPECIMENS YOU BOUGHT CHEAP ENOUGH. AND I BELIEVE THERE WERE SOMESMALL TEETH IN THAT 8.00 LOT YOU BOUGHT THAT WERE WORTH THE -R WEIGHT IN GOLD. COMMERCIALLY I HAVENT THE LEST HESITANT -CY IN TRUSTING YOU WITH ANY AMOUNT ON APPROVAL.

IT WAS ONLY ON THE GROUND THAT I WANT ONLY THE PURCHASER TO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF THE BENEFIT OF THESE FINE AND RARE FINDS AND THAT WE MIGHT BE TOO FAR APART IN PRICES. I THINK THE FOUR PIECES ARE WORTH $250. EASILY. AND I HAVE PACKED THEM FINELY IN COTTON AND EXCELSIOR IN TWO BOXES AND SENT THEM TO YOU FOR FREIGHT, UPON THE PROPOSITION THAT I HAVE A RIGHT, (AS THEY ARE ON APPROVAL, IN THE MEAN TIME, TO TRY FOR HIGHER FIGURES THAN YOU MAY

DEAR SIR:

YOUR FAVOR OF THE 20TH MCH TO
HAND. I AM SORRY TO HETAR OF THE CHEAPER OF THE TWO JAWS
BEING BROKEN.

IN REPLY WILL SAY THAT IF NONE OF THE SPECIMENS ARE NEW THAT IT OF COURSE MAKES SOME DIFFERENCE IN THEIR VALUE. WHETHER OR NOT THE JAWS WITH THE SIX INCISORS IS A NEW THING, THE FACT THAT THE SIX TEETH ARE ALL THERE IN PLACE IS A RARE FIND. 3 TEETH ON ONE SIDE & 3 ALVEOLATES ON THE OTHER SIDE ARE NOT LIKE 6 TEETH IN PLACE. MY PRICES WERE

BEST SPEC 150.
NEXT (2 INCISORS) 65.
THE TWO YOUNG BRONTO. both 35.

AS THE ONE WITH TWO INCISORS WAS BROKEN I WILL
CALL THAT SPECIMEN $40.00
2 YOUNG SERIES both 25.00
THE 6 INCISORS 100,

THIS IS THE LOWEST I CAN STAND.
IF YOU CAN POSSIBLY TAKE THE BROKEN SPECIMEN AT $40.
PLEASE DO SO AND NOT MOVE IT. THE YOUNG ANIMALS I AM
NOT PARTICULAR WHETHER I SELL OR NOT AS THEY ARE THE ONLY
- Y FINE YOUNG BRONTO. I EVER GOT IN 5 YEARS AND I WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE THEM SENT BACK BY EXPRESS IF NOT WANTED
FOR $25. THE 6 INCISOR SPECIMEN IF YOU CANNOT USE AT
$100. (ONE HUNDRED), I WISH YOU WOULD VERY CAREFULLY PACK
IT BY ITSELF ALONE IN A BOX, WITH PLENTY OF COTTON
AROUND THE FRONT AND FIRMLY PLACED IN DRY EXCELSIOR
AND THE BOX BANDED WITH HOOP IRON. AND SEND IT TO
L.W.MORRIS & SON, 18 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, N.Y.

I HAVE TWO PARTIES WHO WILL TAKE IT
FOR $100. AND GLAD TO GET IT. BUT I GAVE YOU THE FIRST
CHANGE. IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO KEEP IT PLEASE BE KIND EN
ENOUGH TO DO THIS AT ONCE. VERY TRULEY YOURS
L.W.STILWELL

PROF O.C. MARSH
NEW HAVEN, CONN.

DEAR SIR:

YOUR TELEGRAM RECD. IN REPLY WILL SAY THAT I AM KNOWN AS ONE WHO WILL TRY TO LIVE UP TO PROMISES AND DO THE FAIR THING. I DO NOT WISH TO MAKE ANY CAST IRON PROMISES NOT KNOWING WHAT FUTURE CIRCUMSTANCES MIGHT ARISE. I HAVE SEVERAL STRINGS TO MY BOW AND DO NOT NEED TO BIND MYSELF TO ANY ONE REGARDING FUTURE FINDS. INDEED IT MIGHT BE A LOSS TO ME SOMETIMES TO MAKE ANY FIXED OBLIGATION. I HAVE SEVERAL GOOD CUSTOMERS TO PLEASE AND I AM IN THE BUSINESS FOR A LIVING AND ALL THERE IS IN IT. FROM THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAVE HAD TOGETHER, WHILE PLEASANT TO ME, I AM OF THE OPINION THAT I CAN OFTEN SELL FOR MORE MONEY THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO GIVE. I DO NOT WANT ANY UNREASONABLE PRICE, BUT WHAT YOU MAY THINK TOO MUCH I KNOW OF OTHERS WHO WOULD WILLINGLY GIVE MY PRICES - ESPECIALLY IN EUROPE, AS WELL AS AMERICA. AND WITHOUT THE DELAY AND RISK INCIDENT TO SHIPT. TO YOU AND RESHIPMENT.

BUT, PROF. I SHALL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU AND THE INTERESTS OF SCIENCE ALL I CAN AFFORDTO. AND AM GLAD TO LET YOU SEE AND BUY WHATEVER NEW I GET IF THERE IS NO LOSS IN PRICE OR INCONVENIENCE TO OTHER GOOD CUSTOMERS. I AM VERY LIKELY TO SEND YOU DESCRIPTIONS AND SEND ON APPROVAL, IF YOU REQUEST IT, AND NEW OBJECTS YOU MAY THINK DESIRABLE AND GIVE YOU THE FIRST CHANCE TO BUY. WHEN I DID NOT KNOTW THE VALUE OF A THING AND DARED NOT SET A PRICE ON IT, AND YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE IT AS I COULD NOT, I SHOULD WANT YOU TO OFFER ME WHAT IT MIGHT BE WORTH. IF I HAVE AN IDEA OF THE VALUE OF A THING I CAN PUT A PRICE ON, AND IT WOULD BE AT YOUR OPTION TO TAKE IT OR NOT.

I SHALL SOON COLLECT IN WYOMING AMONG THE DINOCERATA AND SHALL FIND OTHER ANIMALS THAT I VERY LIKELY CANNOT DETERMINE. SOME MAY BE SO VALUABLE THAT I COULD NOT AFFORD TO GIVE THEM AWAY TO HAVE THEM NAMED FOR ME, AND SOME SAMPLE TEETH I WOULD BE WILLING TO
