Chicago Nov. 23 - 1870

Dr Sir

As I neglected to show you the
Wisconsin meteorite in my collection, I now
do the next best thing by sending photographs.
And as one of these includes myself
I hope you will see the propriety of
allowing me your carte visit.

I have been home on two different days,
doing each time a week's work in a day &
though I selected calm weather the
storm = king came upon us each time!

Please therefore hasten the time when
the telegrams shall all be sent to Milwaukee,
where, with the advantage of my library
manuscripts etc. I can do at home the same
work that I now do here with much more satisfaction,
both to myself and to the public.

If the thermometers can be put into
a small observatory upon the roof of a
house, as I believe is now contemplated there will be no necessity for a
room with a north exposure & we
may have upon moderate terms the best place in Milwaukee-
the Life Insurance Building- only one block
(or square) from the Chamber of Commerce & Telegraph
Offices.
