 My dear friend, 


 I find, with my ususal
 (un)-luck, that I am about 15 minutes
 too late to have the pleasure of seeing
 you. The purport of my, early, visit
 was to say that Dr. Alexander dines
 at my Brother's [Samuel Thomas Carey] to-day at 5 o'Clk [o'clock]
 & the latter sends his regards to you
 & hopes you will contribute your good
 company to the pleasure of the Afternoon.
 My brother did not know where 
 to find you, so I undertook to hunt
 you up for him. His house is
 376 Fourth St. a few doors East
 of Broadway on the So. side of the street.
