Summary:
This letter is about the 200 or so drawings of fishes that ARW made while on the Rio Negro and its tributaries in the 1850s. ARW explains that the specimens were lost on the voyage home but that as the drawings are to scale and have descriptions and accompanying notes they might be useful to a student or to catalogue. He suggests they could be reproduced by photography and process-plate. ARW states he is reluctant to throw them away.
