Cambridge Mar. 6"/59.
Go there yourself, and see how you like it Old Kenny - - Well here I am all right here in the land of learning. I arrived here yesterday morning, and found things pretty well - "The loveliest" is well and happy now - and sends her regards to my Washington friends. You old Stick-in-the-mud. why did you not send those letters to me in New York - as I asked you to - Here they were in Cambridge 3 days before I got I hear - Well never mind. I have them now - I find Prof. as Blue as the devil, and therefore have not had any talk with him yet - I told him I wanted to get the specimen first and then we would have a talk about things - I am in hope that by tomorrow he will be better - Alex. Agassiz left the day

before I got here, for Oregon to be gone 3 year and that is what makes Prof. so blue - just now. However he will be all right in a day or two and then I, will let you know what is up. I wish you would tell Prof. Baird that I will write to him as soon as I have had a good talk with Agassiz - Remember me kindly to our lady friends across to the way, not forgeting "his Northern sapiens" - as well as to the Club - and now old Heterodon you must write to a fellow once in a while and let us know what is going on in Washington. and then will just let you know that I am still in land of the kicking.
