Thanks for Foulke's paper on "Cellular Separation." Concurs with his views and hopes that this is but part of a more complete work on prisons and prison discipline. Comments that Dickens "cannot strike anyone as doing more than most unworthily to excite our sympathy for criminals and such." Foulke's "management of his remarks is skilful and entirely satisfactory."
Expresses thanks for Foulke's attention to the dog picture. Regrets that he did not have a landscape and sent the dog at Dr. Hayes' request. Requests that Foulke pass along his thanks to Mr. Sartain for arranging display of the dog picture.
