          Legislature however.

I send you the Gazette you requested. The [?]
in question is certainly an [excellent?] flux
in cases where a high heat is required.

I will take pains to and you in the collection
of [grapes?]. I wish you had all my hay. I presume 
you would find something new among it.

I have goven Websters & Skinners all your list
of errors and added some to the list.

Two of the Canal Commissioners ought
to be added to your list of correspondents.

Myron Holley and [crossed out: James] [added: Saml.] Young. Holley
was my top-mate in college. A better fellow is not. He [ added: and Young] attend my lectures now.
Young is a Senator as well as commissioner. 
He is very zealous in the cause of
Natural History, and has picked up considerable
knowledege of minerals.

I believe I have blundered upon a new test
for him in mineral water. It is merelya solution
of indigo (made in sul.[Sulphuric] acid in the common
way) with the addition {minute of tin?]. I
will let you hear from it again, after further trials

Yours
