 away.  Eaton says he is very happy at the prospect
 of my going to Troy sometimes, as I am a zoologist
 but in Botany, Mineralogy and Geology, he does not
 wish to ask me anything.  His geological map of N.Y.
 is nearly finished.


      I wish you and LeConte would consult
 together on Gates business, and let me know
 what is to be done. We must continue to
 get a few more subscribers, and make
 those pay who are already down.  I shall
 remain here two or three weeks yet.  Direct
 to me No. 15 Congress Street


                    Yours
                                       Wm. Cooper


 P.S.  Don't forget to mention what the
 Lyceum is about, and how the members of the
 regular quorum are conducting themselves.
