          Mr Schaffer [crossed out: did] [inserted: had] not got your letter
 yesterday _ I suspect he has not utterly
 abandoned his southern project tho'
 he says it is "all up."


 I must save a moment for a note
 to Mrs Torrey.


 You may count the index as good as
 ready at 2 hours warning tho' I shall
 not let it alone till it is off.


 When will its proofs be out? i.e. the
 Flora completed?
