          To Dr. J. Torrey, I presnt to your acquaintance
Mr. Wallace, a friend and formerly
a student; now a merchant in New York, who
will call on you. He can conveniently
send any package to me [added: at any time]. The old copy of
proof sheets, of 7th Ed. he will send to me.
I should be pleased to read your [?] notes,
before our Addenda is printed. He is at No. 38
Front Street.

Mr Gates sends you our sheets regularly.
I hope you receive them promptly. I heard
[added: today] that Dr. Wright had a letter from you; but
he has been very sick about a week, and
I have not seen him. Geo. Bull his assistant
as botanist in Michigan is at
his father's (Judge Bull of Troy) and at
leisure. He corrects all proofs; and under the
doctor's direction, collects and arranges
the new species. He is a very faithful
and accurate botanist. He collected alone
last summer in Mich. and has brought
home duplicates of, perhaps, about all the
plants of that state.

I devote my attention chiefly to the
students, and the application of all
I can get from you and Lindley
to the Natural arrangement and properties
of plants.

Mr. Wallace is in haste.
Yours truly,
Amos Easton.
