          I wish to ascertain whether any other volume
 of De Candolle has reached this country
 since the fifth, & from whom in New York
 I could obtain them. Do you wish to 
 sell your fifth number?


 Will you likewise inform me how many numbers
 of the third volume of the transactions
 of the N.Y. [New York] Lyceum have been published, &
 whether the late numbers could be obtained
 separately. I have the numbers
 that were published about eight years
 ago.


 I should like to hear, also, respecting
 yourself, your family, your situation,
 your employment &c. The last, I heard
 from you, was by means of a pamphlet
 you sent me respecting the N.Y. [New York] University.


 I still continue at the head of this
 large school, & find my time fully employed
 in attending to its details.


 Can you not make it convenient to pay
 me a little visit druing this warm weather,
 I should by very happy to see
