68 SOME AMERICAN MEDICAL BOTANISTS 



" Remember me in a particular manner to Dr. 

 Solander. How happy I should be in having an 

 hour or two's tete-a-tete with you both! If seas 

 and mountains can keep us asunder here, yet 

 surely the Father of Wisdom and Science will 

 take away that veil and these obstacles when this 

 curtain of mortality drops; and probably I may 

 find myself on the skirts of a meadow, where Lin- 

 naeus is explaining the wonders of a new world 

 to legions of white candid spirits, glorifying their 

 Maker for the amazing enlargement of their 

 mental faculties. What think you of this time, 

 my dear friend? Shall we have a hearty shake 

 of the hand if such practises be fashionable or in 

 the mode? Believe me, I long to see more of my 

 God, and to know many of my friends that I am 

 afraid I cannot meet elsewhere," '
