          Be so kind as present my respects to Dr. Gray and the 
 Messrs Carey. You need not send the package from
 Mr. Borrer you spoke of till you hear from me again.
 I hope to bring it myself if I can possibly get 
 away as early as I intend.


 I began this letter last night and dated it this morning
 I left a corner to fill up with several matters I
 was desirous to name to you, but I find I shall not
 have time.  but will write you another day.
 It gives me much pleasure to enclose such
 a valuable Biographical Memoir of your ancestors
 and one that you have much reason to be proud of.
 In presenting this to Mrs Torrey I had also intented
 to have written her freely and confidently on 
 another topic but I fear to touch about it now,
 and must therefore let it rest till I can have
 the high satisfaction of another visit and again
 partake of your hospitality and enjoy the pleasure
 of your scientific conversation.


 Yours Dear Sir


 Very Truly


 J Barratt
