          Brimfield March 24th 1818

Dear Friend
I wrote to you from Morson
and gave you time to answer me there. But
I received no letter. I received one from Doct. 
Mitchill, directed to Leicester. Now you may
write me a mere scrap, which may be 
lost without the loss of any good thought, and
dircted to me at Brimfield Massachusetts.
I say this because I shall remain here
no longer than the 4th of April. In this
do you tell me, whether you will do as follows:

Send me a catalog of your plants, 
directed to me at Albany, to the care of 
Messers Webster and Skinner, Booksellers.
I am to be there the 7th of April and
commence immeiately. I have left
several [?] lines at the end of every
[?] in order to insert whatever I can 
get from your catalog after I arrive
in Albany. You must not wait for
me to arrive in Albany. Send it in 
one hour after receiving this.
