in taking your hand, face to face. If you have anything in 

 particular to say to me, perhaps your letter would reach me 

 in England, by addressing it to the care of Mr. T. Denkel. 

 Adieu, my dear sir, au revoir. 



Your devoted

 PARIS, August 14, 1846. 



FROM PROFESSOR AGASSIZ. 



TREMONT HOUSE, BOSTON, October 5, 1846. 



MY DEAR SIR, I hasten to announce to you my safe 

 arrival in Boston, and to transmit some pamphlets which 

 I have brought for you. As soon as I have taken my 

 bearings here, I shall come to press your hand, and to 

 thank you for all the attention you have given me. 

 In the mean while, believe me, always, your devoted 



L. AGASSIZ. 



Pray present my respects to Mr. Dana. I shall rejoice 

 to make his acquaintance. His fine works have brought 

 him a great reputation in Europe.
