My beloved son:

Your note about the double mercury:—Don't assume my ignorance. Please describe the phenomenon precisely. I have for example, known people ignorant of physiology, who got terribly worked up when first they observed the prostatic moisture. Please report your experience clearly in detail; if you deem prudence desirable, write in the following cipher:—

I am very anxious to hear what actually happened as my own work is now being copied and statistically analyzed. I expect to find that I am familiar with your result in which case, I might conceivably be of use to you. However that may be, science demands full investigation. My recent correlation of our work with profane science makes me hope that the IX° may be the key to the force for which we are all looking; in fact, the "war engine".
