Summary
Concerning his upcoming lectures at Harvard; thanking him for the articles and saying "I see they will give me great help & enlightenment! I have only one request - may I keep them to read on the voyage? I will guard them as carefully as my own lectures, - if those blessed documents are ever completed. But if you feel any difficulties about permitting this just send me a p.c. & I will make or find opportunity of reading the articles before I leave."
