 John Torrey Esquire


 My dear sir, I have
 this moment received a copy of 
 the Derby Arboretum with your
 polite note, for which you will
 please accept my warmest thanks.
 There is nothing will afford me 
 greater pleasure that granting your
 request sir, to point out the spot
 where the Taxus Canadensis is growing
 on the Island of N.Y. and also to
 accompany you at any time it will
 suit your convenience [inserted: after Monday 14] to examine the
 part of the Island which you named
 after which it would afford me great
 pleasure to take a trip with you
 by the Erie R. Road [railroad] as far as Ramapo
 as I am inclined to think you want to 
 find sufficient to remunerate you for 
 your trouble. 


 I am dear sir
 Respectfully your obt [obedient] serv [servant]
 T. Dunlap
