Thomas Clark Esq.
Superior Wis.
Dr. Sir;
Your favor of 7th last is rec’d. The mining law of which you requested a copy is now in the hands of the printer. I will send you a copy when it is published.
In regard to the appointment of State Geologist, the legislature saved me the trouble by naming Mr. Eames in the bill continuing the office. I apprehend that Mr. E. or his friends engineered the bill, having perhaps some doubt about my appointing Mr. E. if the appointment was left to me.
I shall be glad to “renew acquaintance” as you term it, and hear from you at your convenience. I hope I shall get onto the lake sometime this spring or summer.
Very truly yours,
W. R. Marshall
