Academy Series of Casts you placed in the College here. Prof </s Bro > S. Browns- berger would be very much obliged if you would send him the label.

    I have just got up from a slight

attack of </u fever >, and at the present moment the question before the house is, will it continue ?

    A letter from Theobald dated

March 31st says he had not yet started the specimens to you, but ex- pected to do so as soon as he </s he > would be able, </s to do so >. At that time he was ill as usual with the ever- present, </u omnipotent > disease of that locality - Jungle fever. He further says. "I after all received the turning lathe this month, but it was very badly broken and many of the tools lost." </u Was it insured ? > If so, dam- ages can be recovered, Yours very sincerely Wm T. Hornaday.
