 Dear Doctor


 Yours up to Thursday 
 I received on Saturday evening. 
 Your weeks vacation is now 
 at hand, and I shall be 
 much obliged if you will then 
 put in order & send on the 
 copy for Lobeliaceae & Campanulaceae,
 which I think I shall 
 soon want for the printer.


 Perhaps you may be able to
 sit down here to do it, tho'
 I suspect that you are so 
 much separated from your family 
 that you will be glad to have 
 that week
