          I have bought of Hastings a microscopic
 copy of Shakespeare  8 vols
 48mo [quadragesimo-octavo] for $1. So you will soon
 find me a literary character no
 doubt.  These, a hat, an umbrella,
 & a psalm book are all the extravagances
 I have run into as yet
 since my access of prosperity.


 You thank me for the lamp - it
 was all H's doings - I could not
 get down town that morning.
 What color is your genera paper -
 Must it not be 23 x 15 1/2?
 I have asked again about filters. "There
 has been none here for a year & more
 at all at all" Says Mrs. Jenney And
 I believe she is right. Has not
 Gilman or Agassiz got them?
 I am now so fixed that I could
 make no excursion till the middle
 of July. I must come to Princeton
 & would like to go with you to
 the Pines. What a treat to accompany
 you there.
