My dear Mary
On receiving yur husband's letter with the recommendations, I put them into the hands of Mr Pierce of the Senate, one of the Regents, and desired him to give them the proper direction. I have conferred with several other members of the board, & particularly with Mr Hilliard of Alabama, who saw Mr Baird's collection last summer & was much interesed in both it and him. I have also written to Mr Jewett, assistant secretary, who will have much influence, & when I see Mr Choate as I hope to do soon, I think I can prepare him without difficulty to sustain your husband.
Prof. Henry is very favourably disposed, & I think every thing -------------------------------- Page -------------------------------- looks well. I do not think the appointment will be made at present, which I do not regret, because I hope I shall be in a position to exert more influence next winter than now --
Mrs Marsh & Lucy are pretty well, though a little fagged with a hard winter's service. We shall remain here until the middle of March & perhaps till the 1st of April.
I will give Mr Henry the letter & certificate I received this morning and am with the sincerest respects to your husband & other friend as well as to yourself
Your old friend
