Sir, 



I send you a proof of plate # 28. 



Must the base of the figure be hairy or smooth? Because I did not know, I left this portion 

 unfinished. 



Yesterday I saw Mr. Fleischmann; he will write you and tell you that we have not forgotten 

 you because my brother and I where busy with your work. 



He also asked me for two proofs that he will send to America; I would like to, if at ail 

 possible, give him proofs in which the corrections have been made. At the end of the month l 

 will send you proofs # 90 and 91. 



I am taking notes of your observations but will not correct my faults until you return. 



If you write to me, in the future, I ask you to add to my name my profession: Engraver, 

 because your last letter was sent by mistake to Mr. Picart, doctor and editor of the Week y 

 Revue 48 in the World of Science, and he told me that he has much correspondence witn 

 Germany. 



Accept, Sir, the assurance of my dévotion. 

 I have the honor of greeting you. 



Picart
