or new mineral  [enough?] for
you - my [?]...
Do you mean to say that your Talc is [Dialloge?]? I have
more from you like the D. I have from Europe. And is
your asbestos [?] [Hydroati?] of Magnesia? By the way,
that term [hydroti?], is an outrage on the principles of
chemical nominilatum, & I will not use it  an acid
termination when no acid is meant, & a salt [expressed?]
when no salt is intended. We have the term Anhydrous 
just add hydrous, & say hydrous magnesia,
etc. & the thing is done perfectly, & the principls
of correct nominilatum not tramped upon.

The plants for Mr. [Prince?] where are they? I can
not tell. I had a promise from a man to see them
on board the boat. I paid him well for it. This is
expensive business for me. My boxes to & from you for
the year do not cost so much, as those plants have. I
hope they will reach you - for there is a fine [parcel?]
of them.

The parasitic fungus on [mosses?], you did not send
on _ I have it.

Today I have [?] that supposed Topaz from [Middlefield?]
