 Dear Dr.


 I have sent corrections &
 title to Craighead to save time
 and return proof [crossed out?] to you.
 I have often consultation with
 Prof. [Professor] Henry made several changes,
 none important, and mainly to 
 secure uniformity in the paper
 itself, and with our other works.
 I would like another proof.


 Girend says the French
 do not accent capital letters.
 If so, the e' in Fremont, as title,
 and running heading must be 
 changed. It is like dotting a 
 capital I.


 Very truly yours,
 SF [Spencer Fullerton] Baird
