will not be sufficient to
entitle one to the distinction

My stay in Cambridge this
season was a very profitable
one. I became very intimate
with Mr. Gray, as well as others
including the editors of the
Gazette. Prof Coulter expected

he wrote it up himself.

I have much better faculties for
work this year than last: still
my prospects for the future
are exceedingly dar.

Truly Yours
