          Skinner tomorrow. I do not know how
to predict respecting them. They think
Beck and I know every thing. I will
get Beck to recommend the measure.

About going to the Pacific. Certainly 
Go. I would go, without pay, if
I could get none, If I had no family.

I will send you nothing yet.
Because I have made up my mind
that you shall come to Albany.
Your expenses shall be nothing,
while you stay at Albany. Remember
No. 82 North Market St.

This evening I begin my geological
course here. I have 6 clergymen
on my subscription list.
I must talk geology to you
before you see Rocky Mts. McClure 
is wrong in some things. I
wish you to understand my Geological
whims thoroughly, before
you get out. I tell you - Pause
a little! But I tell you - Yes, I
will go through it - I tell you I
am the best practical geologist in 
the United States!!!!!!!!!!!!
