My judgement is that it will be well worth while to prospect this quarry thoroughly for what yet remains to be found to complete the skeleton. The ground now however is very hard and dry and it is difficult to work. In the spring it will be in much better condition. When we get the appliances of which I speak we will be able to do much other prospecting work which I am sure will yield large returns.

 We are just now at work on the Morosaurus prospect and it promises to turn out some very good material. The bones are in splendid preservation and are not disappointing us in number.

If we get the car by the 20th I will load it and send it forward letting Arthur go at the same time so as to get things running and have something ready to exhibit on Founder's day. I hope you will give the necessary instructions to have his labrotory [sic] made ready without unnecessary delay. I will load the car to its full capacity and if we have anything left I will store it in the "shack" and let it remain until next year. I calculate that we will have with the Morosaurus very close to 50,000# and this is all we had better undertake to load. Reed and I will gather in an Ichthyosaur or two collect some invertebrates &c. get a few more characteristic photos and then close. The first paleontological expedition of the Carnegie Museum
