 My Dear Doctor,


 I'll try to be more particular
 in dates. But only to think of your keeping &
 filing away much a quantity of my scrappy
 letters. It actually frightens me!


 Your parcel by Express, with your letter
 enclosed has just got here & I have run it over.


 I hope you will find out what that "case
 of Surgical Instruments" means.


 As to the "cash $20," I presume I gave the
 right explanation before, though you [crossed out: [did] do not
 exactly apprehend me.


 I find no old series
 of [Db?] [?] vol 1-6 charged to me. I took a
 set which you imported, & the account was
 rectified between all [three?] by charging over the
 amount to me as cash to Dr. Torrey $20.
 So I concluded & still conclude that this
 settled all that.- and consequently that you
 do not owe me that $20 at all.


 I want a copy of [crossed out: Fremonts] Emorys Report,
 whenever you can get it.


 Look over the enclosed sheet & you will find several
 memoranda & queries of mine.


  I will now take up Malvaceae & hope to get clearer views of
 some of them.
