My dear Sir,

By Mr. Hopkins I at this late day have
the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of a specimen
of vanadinte [vanadinite] of lead for which you have my sincere
thanks. I have put up a fine box of minerals to send
to Europe & you will confer on me a favor by directing
Mr. H. in regard to the plan & person to whom they had
better be forwarded. I wish exceedingly to see you
& hope to at some future time. I remember with great
satisfaction yr [your] former kindness & hope still to receive
advice & other expression of friendship.

Believe me ever yours

I have also put up a small package of birds. My wish is to 
obtain 2 or more state European correspondents. I think my opportunities 
for exchange will enable me to gain satisfaction.

Monday I start for the White Mountains
