Company to dinner at four. Agassiz, George Ticknor,
Professor Felton, Rev. Dr. Huntington, Charles Hale (Speaker of House of
Representatives), Lord Radstock, ex - Governor Washburn, and some gentlemen
from the legislature whom I wished to become acquainted with Mr. Agassiz. They
all seemed to have an agreeable visit, and I hope it will help along the
project of establishing the Museum of Zoëlogy at Cambridge. Lord Radstock is a
young man, travelling with his wife.
