          Newburgh Thursday afternoon
My dear Sir

The Madison (our regular mail boat) went
off at an earlier hour than usual yesterday which prevented
me from sending the box as I wished to do.

I have looked around the garden for another specimen of
the pea blight unsuccessfully today but will be able to send
you a fresh specimen soon without doubt as the attacks
are always prevalent during hot weather.

I lost the key of our paddock so that I have substituted
another & accordingly send the key enclosed. My visit to Phila [Philadelphia]
is postponed until September when I will gladly avail myself
of the intoductory notes you kindly offer.

Our next Hort. Exhibit is to be at Niblo's Garden on
the 12th. I will send you one of the circulars in a day or
two. I have much more to say but it is near 5 o'clock
and the boat waits. Kindest regards to Mrs. T - let me see
you when you come up the river again.

Yors very truly
A.J.D.
