 College - Monday Morn


 Dear Sir


 I snatch a moment from my
 preparation for my first lecture on
 morphology to answer your letter of
 20 May. Had you sent it through Hastings
 it would have reached me before I wrote
 last. Mr Schaffer has not yet called. I
 went to [Mrs?] Ss fathers but he has moved.
 high up town.


 Those drawings prove very useful
 but not so much so as the paper ones.
 In morphology & Veg. Anat. they are rich
 in some other departments moderate - in others
 still meagre. Had they been drawn for coloring
 it would have been infinitely
 better. I know a lady who would color
 them on low terms but they have too
 much ink to color well I have nothing
 to color by. I could have a few colored
 without special directions from you
 e.g. Strawberry & Carrot. I want good
 drawings on the following orders on
 which I shall lecture specially _ Those
 I mark (x) I have some drawings of now.
