 My dear Sir, 


 Your letter of 1st May was put in 
 my hands just a few hours before Mr. Lundgren
 presented himself with the other of April 24th. 


 He arrived on the 4th inst [instant], and I invited him, on
 your recommendation, to make apart of my family, during
 his stay in the City, He left me on the 10th, apparently
 pleased with his stay. I gave [added: him] such directions and advice
 as was in my power, laid before him books and maps that
 I thought would be useful to him, from the former he made
 extracts, and took copies of the latter. I exhibited to him my
 specimens collected in the mountains, the new Rhus &c, as a 
 sort of introduction to the mountain Flora, and lastly furnished
 him with money on your account and presume 
 that in so doing,
