 Dear Doctor


 I received yesterday a
 note from Mr Trecul in which he
 says your package came too late for
 him (Genera & Wedding cake?) but that
 he will leave it at P. on his way
 to Philadelphia 14 May - last Sabbath. So I
 suppose you have it.


 Mons. T is
 in raptures with his Princeton
 visit.


 I spent the Sabbath at Perth A.
 [Br.?] Corey's child died in the course of
 the day - an only son. I preached
 for him with much reluctance
 half a day Dr H. being unwell & his
 brother being on bad terms with
 Mr Corey. I undertook the task with
 reluctance, as Mr C is an uncommonly
 good preacher, & executed it with
 unusual embarrassment.


 I send you a plant we
 found monday - a very small specimen.
 Will it not have some interesting
 bearings if we prove it not to have
 been introduced?
