My dear Sir, I have to beg a great many pardons for letting that little account which there was for me to pay on account of sundry payments made by you for me run so long. The truth is that I seem to have lost the memorandum and after several fruitless searches for it, I believe I must give it up. I shall therefore |
|
have to ask you to take the trouble to ascertain how much the amount is and to draw upon me for it through Messrs. MCulloch & Co, 41 Lombard Street, London, whom I have instructed to honor your draught. I very much regret giving you all this trouble but I cannot avoid it.
I have been very unsettled since I have been in America and have not yet got my things out of the boxes nor have I any speedy prospect of doing so. I have but lately decided in what city to live. I have resolved on New York, but have got no |

There is an unpleasant presidential "campaign" going on but we shall be soon over with that and I don't know that I care much which gentleman is elected.

I saw last night a striking experiment of conveying the human voice over a telegraph wire so that sentences spoken at one end in a conversational tone could be heard & made out by a person putting his ear to the armature of an electromagnet at the other end. The sound seems muffled and I could not myself make out what was said but a friend of mine heard the result of an election announced & the operators seemed to have no difficulty. Remember me to our friend Mr. Baker. Yours very faithfully, C. S. Peirce
