An Afterglow
We have got some more interesting photographs and some capital prints of enlargement on solis paper. Agassiz's article has come and it is excellent. My copies of it have not yet arrived. Watered the peas yesterday and now it is raining again! The weather took the hint.
I had a most satisfactory day yesterday at the Observatory with Captain Barnette and Prof. Updegraff; first they are contemplating the following of asteroids discovered in this country as a business, and secondly they are going to reform the Nautical Almanac. So that the talk I had with Captain B. in January has become fruit and I trust that the suggestions of which Updegraff made note today will, too.
Socially I see nobody interesting though I had an agreeable dinner yesterday at my friends, the Wadsworths.
