Cambridge, Aug. 24th 1804


My dear Dr Torrey,


Yesterday evening I received
the Map, Atlas & the parcel of books
from Dr Acosta that you were good enough
to forward to me. I am much
indebted to Dr Acosta, to whom I write
to day, for his generous & useful present,
and to you, my dear Sir, for the trouble
you have taken to send these objects
to me.


I too well remember the friendly
feelings that you all shared on every
occcasion towards the members of my
family & myself, not to be assured
of your sympathy when hearing of
the loss that we have just experienced.
