My Dear Sir,
The difficulties to which your last letter related, were as I intended in my
note by the return mail, in the process of adjustment before your communication
was received. They have since been arranged to the entire satisfaction of all
parties. A course of lectures on Experimental Philosophy is now delivering,
which I hope, and have reason to believe, from what I hear, will be alike
creditable to the Professor and the institution. I have been prevented, owing to
a listening of recitations, from being present at either of the lectures, as
yet.
I expect to make a visit to your city on Wednesday, next, and hope to have an
interview with the Ex. Com. & yourself before I
return.
Yours very sincerely,
