          season plants & birds or the rarer kinds are plenty. 
Next year I mean to visit the White Mountains & Winnipisiogee [Winnipesaukee] 
Lake & some other lakes in that vicinity for 
the sake of the fresh water shells & plants in the marshes. 
I wish you could see your way clear to come here & 
we would take my own horse & wagon & visit those 
places which are considered as the most interesting for 
naturalists.

I forwarded by Mr. [Augustus] Starkweather of Pownal a 
small package of [skins?] which I hope you have [wither?] 
received.  I had no good [gibbite?]. Any [added: thing?] farther which 
I can send you will be done with pleasure.

I hope you will find time to [shoot?] me a 
line by mail soon. Remember me to Mrs. Torrey. 
The recollection of former favors recur freshly to 
my mind & I esteem it as worthy of frequent remark that 
I have your united friendship. Believe me ever
yours
