          with us, & at this moment
not one of our 3
surviving children is
with us. Joseph is
absent on a vegetable
fossil tour, but returns
on Monday after an 
absence of 2 months.
I am going today to fetch
my daughter Elizabeth
home from Suffolk &
we shall be united for
a little while. The botanist 
Harvey is with
us, a most pleasant
inmate.

You must if you
please, & Gray too, be
careful how you send
