          settle down! I have at present the Professorship 
 of [Crat.?] Phil. of Chem. in this institution, whose
 principal advantages are that it affords me leisure
 for study, and the title of Prof! I intend the
 following season to ransack this neighbourhood
 for weeds and as I spend the north in July
 (on vacation) if there is any thing around me
 that you particularly wish, that happens to be within
 my reach it will give me pleasure to bring it
 along. Or if you would like duplicates of any
 of the specimens heretofore sent from this region
 I will collect a quant. [?]. I will
 not ask you at this time about your travels
 or the wonders you have seen or missed as
 I hope to have an opportunity of talking the
 matter over next summer. Approx[?] will 
 you be in the city in July or August?
