I translated for Prof. R.[B.?]Anderson the History of the Literature of Scandanavian; and a series of articles for John [Lawlor's?] "Encyclopedia of the Political Sciences." In Madison I have taught French, German, Italian in the families of Gen. Fairchild, Col. Vilas etc. etc. During the last two years I have systematically revived and continued my Sanskrit and philological studies, and still continue todo so here in Chicago, where I am trying to awaken a little interest in modern philology. There is at present in the hands of Mr. W.P. [Nixon?], of the "Inter Ocean" Newspaper an article of mine with the heading: "A plea for the Study of the Sanskrit language and literature." I recently also sent an article to the North American Review, inscribed: "Clerical Training in the Roman Propaganda." I have frequently corresponded with Prof. W.D. Whitney of Yale Colleg, and with Prof. C.A. Russel, at the time he acted as Vice - President of Cornell University in the absence of Andrew D. White. These gentlemen have certainly expressed the wish, that I obtained a chair in an American University; but strictly speaking I am not concious of possessing any patrons in this country, and I am aware of the multitude of candidate in the field against me.
