 Dear Doctor


 Please convey this to Holton. 
 Why do I not hear from you? Pray 
 tell me how your lectures are coming on, 
 & how much of an audience.


 Did I tell you that our sailing
 is (by a change of the vessels & days) postponed 
 to the 10th [June?]. In the
 good ship Plymouth Rock. 


 A parcel is soon to come  to you.
 Among other things a pair of women's 
 boots, which I believe Mrs. T. [Torrey] gave to me 
 to give Maggy at Washington. I left them 
 for her, but they have come back to me 
 in a parcel.


 Yours ever 
 A. Gray

 One memoir is printed already for Smithsonian 
 Institution. Another is going up on, yes two more.
