          Has Beckwith paid you 
 all for his Report? 


 You may remember that 
 when I was at Washington 
 last January you sent me 
 his check to collect for $200, 
 of which I retained at your desire
 $100. Have you ever drawn 
 for the other 100 dollars? Or 
 did you conclude to let 
 him off for $200? 


 Also about the $10 for
 Ammobroma drawing for 
 Mr. Gray. Shall I pay
 this to Sprague on your
 account?


 Whipple's Report will not 
 be printed till after the 
 Japan Exped. [Expedition], which will 
 give us till next winter. I 
 see for that Report. 
 Nevertheless I will tackle some
