Returning this moment from my summer campaign, I am delighted to find your very kindly note of the 22nd of January.1 Many, many thanks! Those expressions of acknowledgment make me very happy & will give me new strength for my pursuits. The mail closes in half an hour, so I must be short. Inclosed an account of my last expedition.2 You see, I have had a good result. With next mail I shall write more fully & give you some very interesting facts, but I would not let the mail part without a word of thanks.
