          send me out some. I want also
 a pipepette (No 376 Kent 5 [Ed?] & have
 no funnel smaller than 5 3/8. I
 think I ought to have 4 1/8 & 2 5/8
 (Nos 236 & 239) & this I believe will
 put my glass on a good footing except
 grill tube & one or two other
 varieties that can all be dispensed
 with. I sent for a small bottle
 of strong Nitric Ac (eg 1/4 lb of
 fuming & Mr Kent sent me 1 lb
 of common. Is thee "wood work" to
 the blow-pipe gas bags?


 But about my days work. Next I had
 the carpenter in & finally fund where
 the water-pipe was stopped for I have
 lost all this rain while he was fussing
 about it. Then I examined examination
 papers till noon. This
 PM the carpenter put bars to some
 flask shelves & on the edge of shelves
 for tubing, the servant washed
 out three cases thoroughly & I
 have been busy enough.
