Please send GW information about a wondrous coca [cocaine] reported by Mrs. Gordon.
Thanks for prompt response and JH's sharing such a scarce commodity [cocaine; see GW's 1870-7-22]. Hopes it will heal depression that interferes with GW's work.
Asks JH's advice on whether a method devised by RP of charting bright stars in isographic projections based on star gauges seems best. Describes the method and urges that the charts will produce useful suggestions about the distribution of stars.
