          Nephew I rode to the station
 & went up to see Leroy.
 I spent the Sabbath there & 
 on Monday came down - did
 the business I came to town
 for and with great difficulty
 got off.


 I dont admire your
 criticism of my Pendulum article -
 It was not written for
 Botanists, & I could not expect
 you to take the pains with it
 necessary to understand it.


 I am anxious about a cap
 to a jar I broke & two stop
 cocks of Mr Brownes that I
 left in the Laboratory. I think
 Smith thought them abandoned
 & possessd them. I have
 written him & got no answer
 I could not get to the College
 when I was in last week, so
 that I know not whether they
 have yet turned up.
