 & arts popularized would in N.Y. City always I should
 think fill the room at a moderate premium.
 If the management goes to the Board of Education
 I do not see that much chance would result
 in my favor. I am [?] to you for your
 promise to keep me in rememberance when
 the time arrives.


 I am connected here with the Medical Dept
 of Georgetown College (which is located in this City) as
 Prof. Chem. It is a small affair a very small
 affair. I do not think it deserves even the title of
 one horse & would perhaps better deserve the title 
 of a meaner and stupider animal but it keeps
 my tongue & hand in practice & I opened the
 courses last week by a preliminary course of
 four lectures on "Morbid Urine" a [?]
 chemical display instead of a big introductory
 full of [?]. I acquitted myself to the 
 satisfaction of my Colleagues & now having no
 apparatus here to give lectures on physics I have 
 [?] into affinity, symbols & oxygen
 This fills up a few Evenings in the week & 
 makes me feel reconciled since we are doing
 the same things again which when one
 gets on into middle life satisfies one
