 is caused by your countenancing
 unjustifiable liberties in one who
 has no right to treat me thus.


 Your affectionate and
 unchangeable friend,

 To Prof. Torrey


 P.S. I believe I have [added: (which I did not expect, without [hole in paper])] procured
 all the printed [aids?] I need.
 As to Mr. Gray's [added: printed] improvements
 in [Oulniferae?], I did calculate
 to publish them; but it seems
 I am not to be permitted. I regret
 this, as a disagreeable notice
 [crossed out: of ---] of my failure will
 probably be indesponsible?. As 
 my preface will not be printed
 until the last of Feb. I may
 devise some scheme for disposing
 of [added: that] public expectation, which
 Mr. Gray's extensive announcement
 of his remarkable discourses, 
 has excited.

 N.B. I leave town this evening. I shall always 
 be happy to receive any [attentions?] from you
 at my own place in Troy.   A.E.
