My dear Will1

I have just remembered that I forgot to order the book on Conic Sections you wanted. I sent your letter to Hurst2 & have forgotten the title. If you will write it correctly in the enclosed letter & post it you will have it in a day or two.

[2] No news. — very busy — awfully busy with garden & greenhouse blinds, &c. preparing for Exams, &c. &c..,

Write me some news about College.
