Summary:
Sends thanks for a newspaper abstract; will be pleased to see the paper [probably "Economy as a phonetic force", Trans. Am. Philological Assoc.8 (1877): 123–34] when printed.
Sends his own ["Biographical sketch of an infant"], saying it is of little value, the observations having been made before recent advances in philology.
