Howitt to Fison 21 July 1877

Transcription - Page 2

To get information from others is as we know from
bitter experience a slow + almost hopeless affair.

It never struck me that you would
find the chemical notation strange. I
suppose because I am so accustomed to it
myself.

I am in haste just now, and
shall defer writing more about "food" +c
till I have gathered and condensed a
lot of information.

Believe me
Yours sincerely
A W Howitt
