          half the class have handed in
 their names for it


 I am
 now in fruit & hope to finish
 my next lecture with Phyllotaxy.
 I then have 3 lectures left for
 Inflorescence crypts tissues
 & leaves & theory of metamorphosis  -
 FOr these I want drawings.
 I hope you will hire some
 little Knox to take them down
 to Mr [inserted: Wm] Burger's druggist in
 Cortlandt? st as soon as convenient.
 I am now nearly through
 all I have here & would send
 them in could I learn that you
 are l;ikely to use them but
 I conclude you do not lecture
 this summer. My health has
 been quite porr for a week
 & it is hard work to keep my class
 from suffering for it. I have
 been in bed but a very little
 & hope to keep on after a sort
