Dear Friend, 
A compatriot of mine, Mr. Alfred Guyot from Neuchatal 
Has come with the wave of emigrants over here and plars to go West, 
As he is an educated person of proveb character, I take the liber- 
ty to recomend him to you; I would be very much obliged if you: 
could help him throush your counsel. 
How are thines in the West ? T long for your area and to 
renew my aquaintance; but the urse for the new, specially from the 
ocean, is too big to permit me to break away easily. 
ven 
I wished you had something to send to me, or somethine to 
LLpepeT) 
comunicate, so that I would hear from you personally. 
In greatest friendship 
Your Agassiz
