 I hope you will make it a model for future phytographers.
 I am sorry our plans seem to clash next week; I had been hoping
 to go to Princton on Wednesday night & leave on Friday morn, staying
 one whole day. I am straining every nerve to get through the letter
 J. for Hastings I am spending I fear too much time on my
 carices, but I am learning them better.


 The past (?) qr.) for the first time in NYork, my
 expenses have exceeded my income. It will not be
 likely to do so again. [crossed out: I think] I [must?] draw as much
 as $30 from my funds, if not more.


 There is not a day in which some past kindness from
 Mr [Corey?] ^ [inserted: does not] [?] up & fill me with sad thoughts. Why should
 so good a man be so severe towards one who has always loved
 him & never offended in aught?


 I am anxious to hear from Dr Hunter.
 I would like to look at that pumice stone process for
 [symbol?] in Chem Gas. 1 Apr 1848 I hope it is at the College
 Could PL sponge on black be substitutid for [oxydizing?] the
 [symbol?] (as in vinegar), to advantage?


 Willis will be with me [?] P.M. My last lesson
 is Tues. A.M.


 I am very sorry for the trouble that that
 delay of proof gave you but I think it was no fault of
 [?] or any one here -


 Yours ever IFHolton
