 Dear Sir


 I send the specimens of which I spoke, the
 next one is what I spoke of as occurring at Port
 Henry. The [????inesious?] plant (you will
 excuse me I suppose for using the old terms)
 with an acumenate leaf is the vine of which I 
 spoke. I sent a few specimens of the Goodyera (as
 we need to call it) perhaps you do not want
 them.


 The [senew?] which I have sent is that
 onto which [inserted: the] articles which I have recd. [received] [crossed out: one] fit
 the [tube?] for example for showing the face of
 bodies has a female [senew?] of this thread &
 callibre [calibre] & so of the rest. I am sorry to put
 you to so much trouble Sir but must try to 
 pay you in plants. Whatever you procure my
 brother will take the charge of.


 Very truly & respectfully
 Yours
 A. [Albert] Hopkins


 Dr. Torrey
