To Milan Radovanović [before 12 February 1878]1
Dear Sir
I am much obliged for your note & kind congrat. on my coming B. D.2 I thank you for your photo.3 & as you wd perhaps like to possess mine, I send it.—
With respect to the Preface to your S. Edit. I really have nothing special to say, excepting that I sincerely hope it may be in every way successful.—4 In this case I shall have the great satisfaction of thinking that I may aid in turning the attention of some few young men towards the natural sciences, in a country, which many persons in England believe will soon take an eminent place amongst the nations of E.5
Pray believe me | — —
Radowanowicz
