The article to which you allude, in the Scribner monthly, I saw, and has been the cause of much public writing in rejoinder, both on my part, and that of scientific men. It will give me pleasure to confer with you at an}* time • and with that view I will state that I am usually at these headquarters daily, except about the middle of the day, when, between 12 and 2, I am in the habit of going out on business. I will be glad to see you here, or, if you prefer, will call on you. With great respect, Henry Bergh. From Mme. Adelina Patti: — Parker House, School St., corner of Tremo.nt, Boston, 21 Mars, i8go.
