Curatorial Records: Numbered Correspondence 1334
March 17, 1896
Mssrs Schering & Glatz,
55 Maiden Lane,
Gentlemen:
Your letter of the 16th instant has been received. We have been using formalin in this Museum, and in the shape referred to in your letter, for more than two years, as a preservative and as a hardening agent for tissues, and have obtained admirable results from the same, and expect to continue its use. Upon inquiry I find that we have a sufficient quantity on hand to last for several months. When next we desire a supply you will receive an invitation to bid.
The Commissioner of Education, Interior Department, this city, can most probably furnish you with a list of Museums and educational institutions in the United States from which you could select such as you consider desirable.
Very respectfully,
Walter Reed
Surgeon, U.S. Army,
Curator
