          I have prevailed on our Borough
Councils to set apart a public
square, & name it Marshall Square,
in memory of good old Humphry Marshall,
the author of Arbustum Americanum;
and there are about 100 different
species of trees & shrubs planted 
in it. A list of them has been
published in an Agricultural
journal, printed here; and if I can
lay my hands on a spare copy, I
will send you one, to let you
see what our village has been doing.
I shall not be satisfied, however,
until I see the Torreya introduced, 
& growing in the
Humphry Marshall Square.

With the sincerest respect
and gratitude for your many
and distinguished favors,

I am, Dear Sir,
your friend, 
Wm Darlington

Prof. John Torrey,
