          persons of moderate means.
I intend to call only those of
established reputation in the
several branches of knowledge
Those who can speak with anything
in the subjects on which they
lecture and among the number
I must request that you give
us a course of say six lectures
on botanical physiology Those
for example you gave in Princeton
I am sure they will take well
Do good to you and the public
as well as to the Institution I
regret that on account of the
absorption of our funds by the
building we shall not be able
for the next three years to pay as
well as I could wish We may
however get lectures in this place
at a lower rate than in any other
because so many persons desire
to come on to visit the city during
the winter. I can warrant
