Dear Sir.
I have just received yours of the 18th. I am pestered with several things which I am doing about this time, but rather than that any body else should review Mr. Dana's book I will undertake it. You shall have the article by the time you mention. In the mean time I hope that the publishers will forward me the sheets or book as early as possible, that I may be able to speak more understandably of the work--and perhaps I may have occasion to make some extracts. 1
I remain sir
with great respect & esteem
yr friend & Servt
