          Is it yet settled that you move 
 to N.Y. [New York] this spring? 


 I hope you will try a Course 
 of Botany in New York one of 
 these springs. 


 Agassiz will be in too 
 poor health to lecture in N.Y. [New York] 
 this spring. He has worked too 
 hard, or rather distracted himself 
 by working at so many things at 
 once this winter. He is too hard
 run at Boston, & finds himself
 over-done, not sick. A few weeks 
 of rest & quiet study, to work up some 
 of his results will restore him. He has 
 promised to come out, shut himself 
 up in a room in my house, and work 
 for a few weeks, keeping entirely away 
 from Boston. I think it will do him good. 
 Entre nous, he will have an offer for 
 a Professorship here, if he will listen to it, 
 the result of which will be either to fix him 
 here, or make the King of Prussia fix him
 comfortably in Berlin. He gave to our 
 club, last week, a most excellent & spirited 
 account of the mathematical arrangement 
 of leaves. Sheet full. Yours ever
