Macdonald, whom you remember here deserves a better place than ours [at Liverpool]. I should miss him for he is an excellent physiologist and a good fellow - but his stipend here is too small to support him & he has very slender means. I mention this - not by his request or indeed with his knowledge - in order that if you do happen to know of any post he may obtain you may kindly let me hear. The poorness of his prospect financially worries me a good deal. I could recommend highly for a physiology appointment.

Macdonald is flourishing at Sheffield, & will have a fine Laboratory. I am going over to attend the opening ceremony next Wednesday.

Grunbaum, Macdonald & all are away just now, including George.
