Be good enough to remember my compliments

I left a box at New Orleans last summer containing some
bottle of water from the hot springs of Washita [Ouachita] which I [?]
sent to you but I fear you have never received them.
I should have written you concerning them but for the
uncertainty of your having received the box shall it
remain at N.O. when I get I get out of [?]
I shall forward it.
G.W.H.
