          I have not looked at a plant
since our nice pig-weed day,
except putting up a few Carices 
for [Francis] Boott. I allow myself to hope
that I may spend a day in your
workshop at Princeton, by & bye,
as I want to see Cyperi, & some
other matters.

I had a letter from Gray [?]
days since. I am sorry to say
that Jane [Loring Gray] is no better, & looks forward
to protracted indisposition.

I beg my best respects to Mrs. T. [Torrey]
& kinds regards to the Young Ladies
& am My dear Doctor

Very Aff'y Yrs. [Affectionately Yours] 
Jno [John] Carey

Dr. Torrey

[Benjamin] Silliman sent me a dozen copies of my
Pigweedologiae, one of which I had the pleasure
of forwarding to you, last week by mail
