In your next letter I ask you to write if Emory in his some- 

 time report gave the latitude of Santa Fe ( the medium of all ob- 

 servations) as 35° ^2 f 02" S.W..or if I nade an error in copying.. 

 Also, I ask you to teil me the lowest and highest watenaark ( in 

 mm) of the St.Louis City Division. Both are given on the column of 

 the Calabozo. I had the data in the original manuscript, but see 

 with regret, that I do not have them in the copy. Would you, please»« 

 extend one of your morning walks to the market to the Calumnade 

 Calabozo, and write to me the figures in your next letter. For this 

 I would be much obliged. 



I have seen very little of con^ressional sessions due to the 

 holidays a^d the death of Senator Fairfield. His case elicited a 

 journalistic Sensation. Fairchild suffered from an accumulation of 

 water in the kneejoint. The local doctor, Dr.Mc Clure operated, 

 drained. the water and injected a Solution of Schwingelhaus (???) 

 Copper into the cavity, whereupon the patient dled 20 hours later 

 with Symptoms of trisomy (?). 



Please communicate the essentials ?of this letter to Dr. King- 

 and Mr. Hulen and greetings to all the rest of my friends. I much 

 look forward to an early replyy as I would like to be informed about 

 the money matter. Please use the enclosed lines to Mr Kunz onlyr if 

 other attempts have met with failure. 



To you and your wife my best wishes for the New Year, 

 Your A. Wlsllzenus 



Address: Dr. ¥• 



Washington City at Mrs. Peytons

days to St. Louis. If I should be able to nake an arrangement with 



him for a draft, I shall write without fail immediately. ,
