think that a fellow of that age, if he is worth anything at all in 
the position you refer to, is worth at least $50.00 per month. A 
man of 25 that cannot get that amount in these days is not worth 
anything. You can find out from Doctor whether I urn worth that to 
you or not . 
Can you give me any information as to price of board and 
lodging in Cambridge? 
If X secure the position X shall of course take it withkhe 
thorough intention of learning al 1 I can. A man's life ana time 
are all together too valuable to be flitted away. Each man only 
has a few years to accomplish a thing in, and it depends with him 
how much he accomplishes. If a thing isjworth doing at all it is 
worth doing well. 
Do you still expect to got the new Manual out by the 1st of 
January? X am anxiously awaiting its arrival. . X trust you will 
soon hear something in regard to the Botany of California, as I am 
very anxious to obtain* a copy of it. 
Awaiting your reply, I remain 
‘Yours very truly,
