Curatorial Records: Numbered Correspondence 875

Grass Lake, Mich.
Dear Doctor:
In answer to your letter of the 17th inst., in regard to the girl babies connected at sternum by bony union, I would say that such specimens are usually presented to this Museum, and only exceptionally purchased by it.
If the specimen is in perfect condition, and has been preserved in alcohol, I would be willing to give $20.00 for the same; if dry, it is not wanted.
If you will forward it on approval, you may box it carefully, marked Army Medical Museum, Cor. 7th and B Sts., S.W., Washington, D.C., and send by Adams Express, which has authority to receive and forward the box and collect freight charges here.
Very respectfully,
J. S. Billings
Deputy Surgeon General, U.S. Army,
In charge of Army Medical Museum and Library.
