Dear Robert.

Yours of Nov. 10' Just receivd
Glad to hear of the living mice
&c. They will come in time to figure[ink smeared]

It wont do to confine yourself
to rodents; but what you cant
say of your own knowledge res-

generally, borrow from others or
compile from Aud. & Bach.
I will revise.

Yours truly
SF Baird
