          Princeton Dec 5th 1846

My Dear Dr

I regret that I am obliged
to meet the board of Trustees
of the chamber this evening and
shall probably be detained
until late. I would like
to have some conversation
with you previous to your
return to New York.

I have been much mortified
to learn that I turned you
very unceremoniously from
the door in Friday of last
week but I can assure you
that I had not the most distant
idea of your being in Princeton
at the time

Your Friend etc.

Dr Torrey (Turn over) Joseph Henry
