 My Dear Torrey


 I wrote to you
 some weeks ago on
 the subject of M
 Lyells intended visit
 to the States, & I
 now beg to introduce
 him & Mrs L. [Lyell] to
 you & Dear Grays
 kind offices.
 You can furnish
 M L [Lyell] with important
 information on your
 State Surveys, & make 
 him known to your
 fellow labourers.


 Aff Yrs [Affectionately Yours]
 F. Boott
