          I presumed that Com. P. [Commander Perry] would have 
 got an order from Dr. Morrow's superiors 
 for their delivery. If that could be 
 done, I would at once send on 
 the parcel, or work them out (after 
 midnight's, my only possible time now)
 to oblige him. But as it stands, 
 I shall not lose valuable valuable time to 
 do it for [Morrow?] at present. 
 Boott has had the Carices, & worked 
 them out elaborately, more suo. 
 His mss. [manuscript] would be the most interesting 
 part. I have sadly miscalculated 
 the time it would take to do my
 new ed. [edition] ofManual, and now 
 have to suffer for it.


 Ever Yours affy [affectionately]
