          to see them, that they may be cited as seen by
him in J. Torrey’s Herb. [Herbarium] I have excited such a prejudice
in your favor in his mind that he is anxious
to notice your herbarium in this work.

I beg you to get my manuscripts from
the Agent immediately and put them in a
box with your herbarium and deliver them
to Doct. Ansel W. Ives, No. 345
Pearl Street. Nail a card upon it thus

For Amos Eaton. To the
Care of Professor [Eli] Ives of Yale
College. New Haven—

I earnestly hope, that you will grant
this favor without one moment’s delay. You
may rely upon this, that you will never regret
the favor. We shall receive the box
safely from Doct. Ives of N. York.

If you could get fifty subscribers, the work
would immediately go to the press. You and Doct.
Roe [possibly Stephen C. Roe, a medical school classmate of Torrey's] shall receive gratis one book for every ten
good subscribers which you obtain and send to
Doct. Ives. Tell N. [Rosme?] he must
subscribe for Sally.

Please to present my respects to Doct.
Wynkoop [probably John Q. Wynkoop, a medical school classmate of Torrey's] and Doct. Roe.

I am your obliged friend,
Amos Eaton

Mr. John Torrey
