My dear Brown:

Glad to hear of your safe arrival, and of the good conditions of the fossils. I will try to arrange for a car; but I fear it will not be an easy matter. It will be necessary for you to leave the most specific instructions regarding their shipment, and I don not want you to come East until this is all carefully addressed, and a full receipt taken.
Mr. Wilbur has not sent us Kelly�s address. Dr. Matthew fears it will be too late for you to go up to that locality, which is pretty far north; but Wilbur will advise us, and I will let you know immediately.
All goes well here.
With best wishes,

Always sincerely yours,

[Osborn]

Mr. Barnum Brown
