 My Dear Friend 


 Your favor of the 10th reached 
 me duly. I know not how my former 
 letter came to be so long in transition. 


 As to the note, the longer you consent to 
 let me hold it, the better for me. 


 Bring 2nd Kunth when you come. I should 
 not have asked for it had I not supposed 
 that it was left out of the parcel by mistake. 


 I am kept very busy, indeed, with a variety
 of things. But I hope to-morrow to 
 despatch a box for you by steam-boat (for 
 freight) for New York, which, no, I will 
 send it on Monday next, and it will be 
 on Tuesday morning on board the Stonington 
 or Providence boat, of which I will apprise Mr. 
 Hotton by letter addressed to the Medical 
 College. I hope you can make arrangements 
 to have it sent on that day 
 to Princeton. I will send some shrubs, 
 such as I can get into a box of moderate 
 size, and some few hardy herbaceous plants,
