          P.S. The above was written as you will see by the date
several days ago & the bouquet prepared. Unfortunately since
that very day the steamers have not been able to get higher 
up that West Point & Mrs. T's beautiful camellias will
have to stay above the Highlands. I console myself with the
relection that I shall yet have an opportunity to send
a bouquest before the winter is over. Mr. Eaton is so good
as to be the bearer of this.
