 My Dear Dr. 


 I suppose you are back from 
 M. by this time.


 Kindly fill out the pencil in your 
 certificate for Hochstein's bill, and 
 return it to me.


 In haste, just running down to 
 Beverly again, to join wife & make 
 index. Most sorry I am we were 
 both away when Herby came on his 
 way to White Mts. [Mountains], & so lost him.
 Shall be here when he returns. 


 The drawings will have to be seen by 
 Wilkes, or sent to W. [Washington]. Please number 
 them 1. 2. 3. 4, & put names on 
 also, and hold till you hear from 
 me. 


 Jane will write to Eliza & Maggy soon, 
 gets no time at  B. [Beverly]. 


 But tell them that we are really afflicted 
 by the sudden death of our intelligent, affectionate
