 Dear Doctor


 Nuttall came up to the
 garden this afternoon, just
 as I was going to town, staid
 half an hour, seemed wonderfully
 pleasnt and tickled.  &
 what is more,- he offered to
 subscribe $100 in advance
 to send Fendler back to Santa
 Fe! (He had seen my specimens
 at Mr. Lowell's). What do
 you think of that for Nuttall
 in his old age!! Don't it beat
 all? He is to leave an
 order in [?], at [Philadelphia?]
 payable in May. I hope he
 wont forget it.
