In one of my letters last week gave you an &C

pearance noticed by the Professors is certain
levity or fightness which appears to me to De the
result of high animal spirits and peculiarly nervous
organization. During his performances as ne
dunn it maniiests Itself in easy and Jocular appeals
TO his familiar spirit to make haste with his work
and not keep gentlemen waiting. His familiar spirit
is named George; and on one occasion, IN Prot. Eel

claimed, Now, Georey, do it quick; Ill give

solemn air, and prefer to play the part OF JOB Trot
