 Dear Doctor


 I set down this evening to 
 answer yours of the 6th.


 First as to Flora Brasil. [Brasiliensis]
 Your copy of the new part 
 will cost you $7.50. 
 Thanks to you & Thurber saving 
 expenses at New York &c., this 
 is pretty cheap for what is published 
 at 14 Thalers or 52 1/2 francs
 at Munich.


 You can more conveniently hand 
 me the cash at Providence. 
 I will bring thither Sprague's 
 receipt for the Ammobroma drawing. 
 He has not brought it in yet. 


 I do not see that I can 
 get a place for Meyer. I part 
 with Cavanaugh, but have got a 
 man in his place, a young 
 man from Neuchatel.
