Dear Kennicott!

Your very kind letter and the Hempter & Orthoptera have come to hand, and I assure you both gave me much pleasure.

The lot from Dr Hagen put me in extasies; I can now tell, 'what is what'. Come here as soon as you can and if I do not assist you as much as you desire, it will not be my fault. Thank you for the kind offer to stay with you, I cannot come to Washington very soon, but when I do so, it shall be my greatest pleasure to stop with you.

I am very happy to learn that the Univers =ity of Michigan is liberal, I hope it will afford you substantial aid!

I will go to work and get out a lot of the species on hand in the three Orders and hope I can furnish you with all you desire.

Unless something unforseen should occur, I will furnish you with Synopses, Mon= =ographs or descriptions for your report in 1861.

We will talk about the matter when I see you.

Yours ever P R Uhler
