          exposition of the results from such
 materials. And the Institution
 has now within its walls a
 much greater amount of new
 and unpublished data of this
 kind than it has yet presented
 to the world in its "contributions".
 Still if Prof. Henry thinks diferently 
 I have no right nor
 intention to object; although I may
 still retain my own private opinions.
 Yet I shall not let them
 affect my official actions.


 But I have bored you
 enough with this scrawl 
 which I dare say you cannot
 read.


 Sincerely yours
