          Young Kineskern [Kneiskern] has been here
 looking for business. His father
 is well. The family grow in stature
 & I hope in intellect. They wear shoes
 & go to school. He took the Genera.
 I have been down town once & to
 Brooklyn once since you left.
 Have not yet touched your minerals.


 Mr Browne is embarrassed. A
 vessel is up for Sweeden. He has
 the Bishops things ready & many others
 for other correspondents. Shall he
 send all _ all but [Agardh's?] - or none?


 Prof. Tappan has at length given
 me his testimonial & a curiosity it
 is. I have taken a copy to show you.
 I was going to show it to Abbot [Mode?] C.
 Miss Forbes & Miss Green & get others
 on the sam model but on a seeing
 how extravagant it was I dared
 not show it to any of them.


 Who is Prof Jager? He has been making
 a little capital, harmlessly, in the Tribune.
 Will he be a candidate?


 When will you be in again?


 Respects for Mrs T. & family


 Yours  I. F. H.
