 Dear Sir


 My excellent Friend 
 Prof. [Professor] Bigelow of Boston has sent
 me word that you purpose
 opening a correspondence with
 Prof [Professor] Hooker of Glasgow the
 celebrated author of the Jungermanniae,
 Musci Exotici
 &c &c. I had expected from
 what Prof. [Professor] Bigelow said to
 have recd [received] a parcel for Prof. [Professor]
 H. [Hooker] from you some time
 ago. I write to say that whatever
 you have to send may
 be forwarded direct to
 Glasgow to Prof H. [Professor Hooker] whenever
 a ship leaves your port for
 Scotland. Prof. H's [Professor Hooker's] address
 is Bath St. [Street] Glasgow.
 You will find him a most
 punctual Correspondent &
