          And Princeton July 3rd 1840

My Dear Dr

I hope you will [?] my long
delay in answering your kind letter
My time as usual has been much
occupied - The cold weather has driven
me out of my study and consequently
into irregularity relative to my correspondence
I however defered writing
principally until I could give
you some definite information
relative to a house. There is
now one to be let situated in
the same street and next door to
James Alexander's* It is a single
house but said to be convenient
and might serve until another
could be obtained - Also Mrs Gibson's
house, the larger brick building nearly
opposite Van Doren's store is for sale

It is the house occupied last year or the year
before by Rev Mr Hans
