1823, NOVEMBEI^-DECEMBER. AT SEA 29 



especially as I have almost failed with Coxe. I ami pleased to get Berberis 



From 18th to 22nd. — Employed packing plants, &c. Got part of the 

 boxes on board. 



Sunday, November 23r^.— Wrote to Joseph Sabine, Esq., and finished 

 putting up my dry plants. At church in the afternoon. 



Monday, 24ih. — I am happy to hear from Messrs. Landreth and Smith 

 as to the plants. Mr. Landreth has again given another testimony of his 

 kindness ; he is certainly an attentive and punctual man. Answered his 

 letter. I cannot but say that I am once more pleased. I got part of the 

 packages on board. 



2Qth. — Received the trees from Philadelphia and Burlington, got them 

 from the wharf, ordered boxes for them. I now feel a little at ease. 



Thursday, 21th. — Got remainder of trees, &c., packed and taken down 

 to the vessel, and box from Baltimore. 



29tA.— Received boxes from Flushing, and transmitted on board ship ; 

 packing, and at Mr. Hogg's. 



ZQth. — Accompanied Mr. Hogg to some of his friends in the country. 



Decerriber \st, 2nd, 3rd, ith.— Finished packing and everything on 

 board on the 5th. I went to Flushing : our words were not of the most 

 amicable tenor, and I am sorry to say that I must leave America without 

 having good feeling towards every person ; and the conduct towards the 

 Society of Mr. Prince is by no means laudable and towards myself most 

 infamous. Mr. Kennedy (Mr. Maitland I never saw, he lives at Norfolk) 

 has through the whole of my stay here been very kind, and I have experi- 

 enced every facility in his power. I need not say anything of Mr. Hogg, 

 (his ability and willingness are well known to the Society) Mr. Floy, and 

 Mr. Wilson, and in fact every person except Prince : this gentleman is now 

 such as becomes the Society to withhold the correspondence. The feelings 

 of Dr. Hosack are already known. I cannot but say, at all times and in all 

 cases, I found his very philanthropic mind unchanged, and his advice 

 as to my own comfort. My feelings will never I hope, in any instance, 

 speak but with gratefulness of Governor Clinton. I can say nothing more 

 than that Dr. Hosack is a Clinton, and Clinton a Hosack. 



Monday, December Slh. — Paid Prince's bill, and settled account with 

 Mr. Kennedy. 



9f A.— Expecting to sail next morning I had my Pigeons, Ducks and Quail 

 on board, and it being my last day I spent it with Dr. Hosack. At his 

 house was a large party of friends who kept mirth up till a late hour in 

 the evening. In the course of the day General Lewis called, having come 

 to town for the season ; he has kindly invited me to visit him should I not 

 sail. 



ICKA.— Waited on the wharf till 12 o'clock noon. I had the mortifica- 

 tion to return. According to promise went to General Lewis and had all 

 the kindness renewed which I experienced at his house in the country. 

 At 7 o'clock in the evening took leave of Dr. Hosack, and Mr. Hogg saw me 

 in the small boat, the ship having hauled out before dark. Ship Nimrod. 



12th. — Went under sail at daylight, having a keen frost and pleasant
