          I have got all the other works mentioned 
in your note which treat on that tribe.

I am glad that Dr Parry's plants have 
reached you.

Have you heard lately from Dr Gray. I 
would like to know how he is, and how 
he gets along with our Botany.

It is a fact that our appropriation [added: Bill] was thrown 
out in the House, but it will be introduced 
again in the Senate and smuggled 
through the House on the last night of the 
Session, the amount is $25,000.

I am labouring hard to get our Greenhouses 
all up before frost set in, but I fear I am 
to be beat, through a parcel of lazy mechanicks.

Remembering me to Mrs Torrey, Miss Margaret,
Master Herbert, and with best wishes for 
yourself and the other members of your 
family I remain

My dear Sir

Yours very

Truly

Wm [William] D. Brackenridge.
