 Esteemed Sir,


 Having been in town yesterday I received your
 last letter, and was much surprised, that I did not
 receive in the same time the numbers of your
 botanical [work?], though you have sent them
 already, as you told me in yours. I am therefore
 sorry, that I could not collect the money for
 them, but as soon as I shall have receive them,
 I hope to collect the money, for the subscribers
 will be in Princeton next week For the parcel
 of plants, which you intend to send to me
 I remitt you my thanks in anticipation,
 and assure you of my respect with which I am


 Dear Sir
 Your devoted friend and servant
 B. Jaeger
