          You must not expect to find a [?] apparatus,
neither do you need it for what they expect. There
is an Air-Pump, & Electrical Machine for
certain things in the Chem. course. The apparatus
is Galvanic Battery of 80 [pair?] four inch
plates; Pneumatic Cistern, large, like that in Yale Coll.;
Mercurial bath, not large; retorts; alembics; [?];
flasks; mortars; balances & weights; tumblers;
air-condensing Fire Engine; aphlogistic Lamp;
Pyrometer; Thermometers; Woolf's [Woulfe's?] apparatus; etc., etc.;
Compound Blowpipe (good & powerful); [?] tubes;
tin & lead pipes; [Ironbottle?] for Oxygen etc.
Among the articles on acids: chlorate of potash,
Iodine, phosphorus, [?], some earths, & so on.
You can bring on what you please, & as you please,
but not at much expense.

They said not a
long & laboured course of  Ghem. but the [expts.?] & Lists,
which will give & elucidate the great principles of
Chem. They will not expect probably more than
40 lectures or 50, & can not afford, & do not
wish to go to the particularity of the systems you
follow at W. Point. The general student will
not attend to the minutiae of Chem. The [great?]
facts & principals they would, & many applications
of them, but a [thousand?] thing they would not,
& will give no credit to a man for dealing them
out. This system at Coll. is the [Conversations?]
in Chem, & that was all that they expect
