My dear sir,

      Allow me to thank you for a copy of the Transactions of your society just received. It is a decided advance on the preaching publications, and shows that the Society is in earnest, and is doing good work.

With best wishes for its continued prosperity.

My dear sir,

Your favor in re hon. mem^p of the Ast. Soc. was mislaid + should have been answered sooner. I should consider such a recognition an honor, but I am not certain that I could do much in return for the Soc. Just at present I am getting out a large lot of copy for the printer, and that with observing duties, keep me crowded all the time. Later perhaps I could do something in my line for you.

Sincerely yours
