came from Guatemala when he was sometime surgeon

any remarks in relation to the springs they will be very
agreeable to the Dr. The yellow specimen is from
Honduras also bought by the Dr. Please give it a
name and ascertain the value of slabs 2-3 or 4 feet square

As your house is disttant from the wharf
I have requested Captain Matthews to carry the things on
board for you to Col. Burr who will send them
to your house. The Elisa will sail on her
return for this port in ten days of her arrival.
Should anything suggest itself to you in which I can
be useful, let me know what it is and your wish
shall be complied with.

Yours truly,

E. P. Johnson
