          Cambridge. [crossed out: Oct.] [added: [Nov.]] 2nd. 1849.

My Dear Doctor

Yours of the 22nd reached me only-
the box came the day before. The freight
on the latter $1.25 was not paid. I mention
it merely because you state that it was, or
was to be.

In turning over the Borag. & Nyctag., I
find that there are [crossed out: a good many] some
specimens you have not named.

As you speak of sending me a
draft this week, let me say that
I do not at all care to have you pay me
the note I hold, nor any part of it, except
the interest for a year (on $500) I should
be quite as content to let it run a year
longer, when I may need it if I go
abroad. So do not send, except interest,
unless you prefer to do so on your own account.

Sorry I am that you could not be here
while Harvey is here. He will be south by
xmas.
