 Dear Friend 


 Your letter & the 
 Bot. Mag [Botanical Magazine] received. 


 Has Thurber paid you 
 for the plates for Bigelow 
 I have all along told you 
 I was to pay for those. 
 Let him or you tell 
 me what the additional 
 amount is, that I may 
 charge it to Engelmann. 


 Old Dawson Turner is 
 dead, 82, & you 
 know that the McGilvrays 
 have lost their oldest boy
 Lady Hooker will feel all
 this. 


 I have to-day received 
 a nice present from 
 Vilmorin of Paris, i.e. 
 the copy of R. Br. Prodr.  [Robert Brown's Prodromus florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van-Dieme]
