          Wms. Coll. June 12th 1821.

Dear Sir,

I wrote you a few days since, but as Mr.
Wright, my brother in law, is to visit your city, I take the
liberty to write again. I give you great advantage over
me, by the opportunity to answer at once two or three
letters. but really I see no other way, if I intend to
hear from you. You see I am resolved to rally you
on punctuality in your correspondence, tho' I know
you will, after all, act as you please. I have put
up a few plants in addition to the crypts, which have
been winter-bound, to which I ask your attention soon
as may be consistant. As you have not remarked on the
crypts. I sent last fall, & the same numbers belong to this
packet, I hope you will keep them separate, & divide
your remarks upon packet 1, & 2, for I have kept them
separate as yet. But I do not well know how to mark
longer - & wish [?] to locate all the lads who can
be allowed even a sir-name.

I have put up
a few minerals, all that I could think of, which you
have not recd. So you see, I am as careful to send
you the new ones, as if you were my lord high
paramount, & myself your devoted liege.

Mr. Wright will bring what you have for me. He
will make but a short stay in the city, I believe,
as his business will require his speedy return.
I am in want of all the Carices you can send me,
which I have not, as well as others too numerous to
be particularized or expected. By the way, I
