Dear Prof. Eastman:-

Your letter of [[strikethrough]] May [[/strikethrough]] the 27th inst. relative to [[underlined]] Anoplouassa [[/underlined]] reached me this morning. Mr. Gidley handed me the [[strikethrough]] sp [[/strikethrough]] type - specimen some days ago but [[strikethrough]] I he [[/strikethrough]] did not make any remark at the time as to [[strikethrough]] what [[/strikethrough]] why (or [[insertion]] ^ on [[/insertion]] what conditions) it was placed in my hands, except that he thought it would interest me. I need not say that I was delighted to see it, though I was familiar with it from Cope's figures.

As soon as I looked at it, I felt very well satisfied as to [[strikethrough]] what [[/strikethrough]] its relationships [[strikethrough]] were [[/strikethrough]], & have [[insertion]] ^ not since [[/insertion]] modified my opinion materially
