          informed me when in Philadelphia that
he intended to start in September. He will
be pleased to carry any package for you
which may serve as a letter of introduction
and if you know anything of the kind
which you wish to put under his charge
you may send the article to me and
I will deliver it to him. I wrote to
you thus on the supposition that you
will be in the Western part of the state
and not meet with Bache before he sails

I have done nothing as yet in reference
to the Philadelphia affairs but have
received a letter from Dr Patterson requesting
my answer this week. I would that
the election could be postponed until after
the meeting of the Trustees of Princeton. I could
then give an unhesitating answer.

I hope you are enjoying yourself
with your amiable family in your western
excursion and that all the anticipations
they and you have formed of its pleasures
may be more than realized.

With the highest respect

Your Friend

Jos. Henry
