          of my term during the session, which has
just closed, has been occupied in preparing
a work for my class on [mechanics?] I have
finished the first part of this and hope
to complete the remainder during the [crossed out: [final?] [added: next]
year.

I am entirely behind in my
knowledge of the current sceince of
the day - the nos. of the Phil. Soph. [Magazine?]
have not been received for more than
half a year at Princeton so that I
have as yet not seen the report of
the British association. Give
my respects to Mrs T and the young
ones Mrs H would join me but
I am working this in the Hall to
be sent with Mr Davis. In
haste Yours as Ever

Joseph Henry
