I am engaged in partnership with an
old brother physician of our Town

health and strength I have a good

myself which makes me very busy.

John M. Bigelow

P.S. Where is Mr. Schott & Dr. Parry?
I think you promised to let me 
see some of the proofs of the
engravings of our plants!
If you correspond with Dr. Gray please
inquire about the memoir on Cact. [Cactaceae].
