          We have received Persoons fungi, Acharius'
Lichens etc. We are now driving at the Cryptogamia
class.

Professor Silliman made me a present of
a ticket yesterday for his Mineralogical Lectures.
I intend to know all that can be known
of minerology and botany in this country.

Please to say as much as you can in your
letter. Where is Doct. Roe, Doct.  Wynkoop,
Mr. Abbey, Mr.  McFarlam, Mr. Herder, and Mr. Thompson
the clerk? Is Mr. Parker in the school yet? Where is
your brother William? How is your father and mother? and
what are you about?

Note. We have had Doct. [illegible name] Bride here from
Charleston S. C. a month. He is the friend
of Elliot, an excellent botanist.
