 I am sorry I went to Monmouth
 now that I have decided
 to go West for I think it
 very probable that a visit
 to Princeton will be inevitable
 & it must be so short.
 Had I not to go West I hoped
 to spend a fortnight with you
 perhaps even more! At this
 time Willis had leisure &
 promised to go with me to
 Squan. Most of our botanizing
 was in the pines.


 I dont understand Sporangi[a?]
 mediol _ its it that the sori
 occupy the center of a lacun[ia?]
 or a segment? Sori in linea
 media dispositi?


 I am glad Short has got rich.
 Give my respects to Quaker
 Bridge & bring back any thing
 rare if you please
