 Dear Dr Torrey


 I have been
 expecting to write to Eliza
 but I have had a great pressure
 of letter writing this
 being the 29th I believe since I
 came here & others that I
 need to write necessarily deferred.
 But this matter of
 the lost sett of plants begins
 really to alarm me.


 They could not have been
 taken but by my direction
 for just those bundles were
 taken. I supposed it was all
 right or would have looked
 the matter out. I still think
 that Mr Schulds was the one,
 if you have not yet spoken
 to him.


 Will you please ask him
 to take the accompanying
 note to the Janitor & also
