          subsequent to your Mon. [Monograph] If it is not long, please copy out his
 Char's [Characters] for me, that I may see his idea of it's [sic] affinities. If it is a long
 story, I will get the Number of Sill. [Silliman's Journal, i.e. the American Journal of Science and Arts] from the Lyceum [of Natural History in New York City], thro' [through] Brownne.
 I have been distributing your androg's [androgynous?] species, & I find that
 (for myself) I should often add or change spec'ms [specimens] in your position.
 I have therefore concluded to send all your material home
 without laying out the Dup's [Duplicates] which, after all, is somewhat 
 matter of fancy; & as every thing will be labelled (in such way
 as you are [about?] to direct) & in it's [sic] place, you can at once, lay
 out for your glues, & discard the dup's [duplicates]. This will be better for
 you, in another view of the case-- it will probably be done
 at once [added with caret: (when you get them, I'm sure!)]-- which, it should be, or the loose things will soon
 relapse in to disorder, & you would gain little convenience
 by the labour bestowed upon them. I hope to get a line
 from you tomorrow, & in the meantime, With kind
 regards to  Mrs. T. [Eliza Torry] and the dear girls, I am Yrs. aff'y [Yours affectionately]
 J.C. [John Carey]


 I fear I am too correct in my anticipations as to
 Europ'n [European] affairs. There seems a prospect of widely-extended
 wars, & awful bloodshed.
