          Dear Dr.


 In Emory's Report, did you
 publish the 2nd species of [?]?
 What was the name I gave you to substitute
 for that, to make it more appropriate for the
 2nd species? Did you publish a generic char?
 Will you lend me your copy of Emory's Report
 for a little while? I find this 2nd species
 is in Gregg's collection.


 I should like to
 make sure that the genus is published & [secured?].

 My Dear Friend


 I got this morning your favor of the 24th.
 Enclosed $1. - all there, also draft on Bank of
 New York for interest. All right. Cashed by a broker
 for 25 cts. I enclose you accordingly the smaller
 note I hold, which is now all paid.


 I regret to hear that the Med. College does so
 poorly this season. But think your way looks clear
 for the Chem. Professorship in the Academy, which
 will eke out your income nicely. Vastly better than
 going to Princeton with the expense of travelling back & forth
