I believe he is up to most if not all [----] fine work of testing measurements etc. Fifteen hundred dollars a year and something like per [------] would I believe [----] him here. # I understood that Crawford had been for sometime assistant to Prof Weber of Zurich, whose name is very great here. # I could not go out to see you last fall before going abroad and I meant to have done. I had a little boy born at Geneva on the 25th of December and all my family are well. TAE marg: say we're full; will put name on list, etc. [some illegible] ## [New name mentions: Weber, Crawford]
