Dear Sir:- | 
I received your letter enclosing correspondence in the matter 
of the inquisitiveness. of Dr. Boas, which I will preserve until you are 
in the city, or will return it to you if you desire, I was aware 
of the knowledge which the Doctor had obtained, and now that it has all 
transpired do not regret in the least that he knows what he does, With 
a full knowledge that he wiil not continue in charge of the Department, | 
I have arranged with him to complete the installation. I prefer, how- 
ever, that you should consider this confidential. Your enuuee 
of the case was judicious and dignified, and I dropped your communication 
in the letter box myself, after reading the copy, | 
We are getting along very nicely with the installation, unless 
it may be the economic geology, which I prefer not to go much farther 
with until the arrival of Mr. Walcott. Mr. Watkins is taking Hoia ih 
oud anid Spirit and if his health does not fail, will have a very inter- 
esting Department. 
Word received from Mr, Pangborn promises that work on the Railway 
oii will be actively begun within ten days. Dr. Boas is handling 
the installation of the material intrusted to his care superbly, His 
methods are economical, intelligent, and to an extent artistic, chefs ES 4
