          On the spot, however, & with the benefit
 of your Counsel, Mr. Hume will be
 better able to plan out his route to
 advantage-- and I feel assured that I 
 may confidently rely upon your
 friendly offices in contributing to make
 his trip to America as agreeable as possible.


 Thanking you, therefore, in advance,
 for the kind attentions which I feel assured
 Mr. Hume will receive at your hands,
 & with my best regards to Mrs. Torrey
 & the dear girls,


 I am,
 My dear friend,
 Very truly your's [sic]
