I thank you, dear Sir, for the kindness with which you have been so good as to attend to my request of Mar. 12. the general view you give me, presents the difficulties we are likely to encounter in obtaining what may be proper and useful in our medical school and the caution necessary to be observed in their acquisition. I infer that it will be best to set out with a few of the most necessary articles and trust to experience and time for adding to them. with my thanks for your kindness be pleased to accept the assurance of my great respect & esteem
