23. This morning I found myself very ill ; the 

 Influenza prevalent to a very high degree here- 

 abouts got hold of me likewise, & attacked me 

 with the most violent headache, ever I have felt, 

 I was forced to lay down ; as soon as got some-

 set up with gin. which I used very freely, bath-

 large portion of sage thee ;

 so I found people getting more & more sickly T 

 concluded to leave this, as soon as I could any-

28. Having inclosed specimens, seeds and min-

 about 7. m. further on from here.

 charming situation. At night arrived at Utica: 

 as the stage lays here over Sunday, I had to stay 

 to ; which would give me a chance of seeing 



-mie of the plants of this nighborhood. 

 •JO. Took an excursion about the town, among
