          have them, that I may take
care of them now. I want too
the loan of Parry's & Franklin's Voyages
etc, the works which contain
those new carices of [?] [?] Bv. Can
not you get them for me for a
few days. My friend John [Ruthven?],
of the House of [?] & Ruthven,
is to come up here next
week to be married, & will bring
them for me, & any packages.
Or, at Mr. Barrow's, No. 69
Amity St. or 71, is Harriet Pomery,
my wife's sister, & she comes
with Mr. Ruthven, & would
bring the whole. Now, can not
you do all this for me, & let
me have them by this conveyance,
Carices & all, & all.

A man, calling himself [Rice?],
showed us the other day, a certificate
over Dr. Mott's name, that
he was graded [graduated] at your College, M.D.
last year (1833). I wrote to Dr. Mott,
to say to me whether he ever gave
any such paper, but he does not reply.
We have good reason to fear that it
is a forgery, & that he is designing
to cheat us or the profession, or both,
