          [Wms?]. College July 25th 1819, Monday


 Dear Sir,


 Your letter of July 14th came round about
 by way of [Houston?] or Boston, & was so late in reaching me
 that I hardly know whether to put any thing for London
 or not. I think I shall however, & you may expect a box at
 Steam Boat Office N.Y. [New York] on Thursday next, if
 you receive this letter. Had your letter come by the
 proper mail, I coud have sent it [?] by a friend to
 the Steam Boat at Albany. I must now [?] it to
 the [Stage?] but hope it will reach you in season. 


 I have not yet red. [received] your box, I am glad to hear
 of it so far northward.  I hope to get it ere long. I
 thank you for your good intentions & exertions about it.
 The letter came as it ought, & I know the box was on
 its passage. Before this, you must have recd. [received] the box
 I sent you in June, & a letter by mail informing
 you that it was forwarded, & the unavoidable cir-
cumstances which [crossed out: have] delayed its departure. I
 hope you have that long letter, filled as usual,
 with important matter -- a, to be serious, of matter
 which I wished to give you. You see, Sir, that I did
 not wait the reception of your box, & was not so much
 offended as to delay sending you what I had for
 you. I believe I sent many plants, which you had
 mentioned. Among them I recollect were specimens of  the following genera, which you mention in your
 last -- Muhenbergia, [Linnaca?], Ilex, Lonicera,
 [Hylostum?], Rhamnus, Viola, Ribes, Viburnum, Juncus,
 Mitella or Limonella, Prunus, Atragen [Atragene?], Corylus, Pinus, [crossed out; illegible] [Zanthax
 ylum?], & some others , with a few cryptogamia. The box
 was sent by a sloop [Schodach?], which always [illegible]
 & [?] out its cargo very [?] Dr. Cooper's & is there
 about every fortnight. Should you not get it, you
 amy with [propriey?] inquire of Capt. [Schamarkon?] of
 that sloop, who is a gentleman I know, & will bring it
 at another time. Or if you tell me, I will write him
 about it. But as it was given him by a friend of his,
 I think you must have before this.
