          a Zoological Text Book on the fashion 
 of my Bot. T.B. [Botanical Text Book], and he wishes to 
 do most of his part of the work before 
 the spring takes him into the field.


 As to lecturing he can do as much 
 here as he wants, and he will not 
 seek a class at N.Y., but would only 
 come on the ground that he might be 
 useful to science. If he gives the 
 course he as partly promised to give here 
 I suspect he could not come to N.Y.
 till near the end of Feby. [February] at any rate.


 But I must break off. Tell me 
 what news you get from Henry. 


 Have you yet got your copy of
 State Report from Albany. Why do
 you not forward the correspondence to the
 present Governor.


 In haste
 Yours cordially 
 A. Gray
