 My Dear Sir


 I send with this a
 parcel left at my Door for you:
 from whom it comes I know
 not. I trust you will receive
 it in good order. I have desired
 that the name of the ship it
 goes bye [by] may be put on this 
 letter that you may ask for
 the parcel thru' [through] your agent.


 We have no news of any
 kind -- & London is deserted of [?]
 & [science?] at this season --


 Yrs [yours] very Sincerely 
 F. Boott


 Dr. Torrey.
