258 Account of the Seckle Pear. 



That I may make this description as complete as possible, 

 I inclose a very correct drawing of the Pear, which I have 

 obtained from Mr. Coxe, excuted by his daughter, Mrs. 

 M'Murtrie. This you will also have the goodness to pre- 

 sent, in my name, to the Society, and I trust they will consi- 

 der it worthy a place in their Transactions. 



With the best wishes for the prosperity of your Insti- 

 tution, 



% I remain, dear Sir, 



your's respectfully, 



David Hosack. 



New York, Oct.QS, 1818.
