 My Dear Doctor


 I have just despatched a 
 letter to Mrs. T. [Torrey] which is half intended for 
 you. But I have just received the 
 Herald, sent by Dr. Draper. The whole 
 is going rich and funny. Now it has 
 just occurred to me that what to do, what will 
 form at once the best answer to his 
 misrepresentations, and spite him cruelly. It is 
 this. Let Dr. Gilman, if he will just 
 simply have all those portions of the Review that 
 relate to Dr. Draper reprinted in one of the 
 newspapers. from p. 36 (in the separate copies) to the end, 
 and if [crossed out: possible][added: proper] the paragr. [paragraph] on p. 5 also. This 
 will embrace any specific mention of him and his 
 book, and the extracts from it will fully justifiy
 the hits that are made at the style &c. 


 If my remarks are deemed necessary, it may be
 added that if Dr. Dr. Draper chooses to make an issue on any 
 of the [crossed out: points] points raised, no doubt the author will be 
 able to defend his positions. It may be said that 
 the whole chemistry from the paragr. [paragraph] on p. 5 onward is just that of 
 [Jean-Baptiste] Dumas,
