          what you desire me to do for you, as soon as
you receive this.

I think I could be ready to start
from here on the 6th If your letter comes to hand
in time or if you come yourself, but whether
you come or not write so as to make all the
necessary preparations in time.

Your booksellers did not inform me
in what manner I am to remit the subscription
for the Flora. Two of the subscribers
have taken the work and are much pleased
with it, the third lives at some distance and 
I shall probably not see him before I leave 
home, and I have taken the liberty to show
the work to several Scientific Persons with a
view to procure more subscribers. This I do
without authority for the benefit of the pub[lic?] 
and of the Science. . Dr. I. N. Meacham of Utica
is a subscriber & Miss Urania E Sheldon Principal
of the Utica Female Academy another.
They have paid me the subscription price
and I am ready to transmit the same as soon
as I am informed in what manner it is
desired.

I shall wait anxiously for a reply.

Yours truly in haste

P. D. Knieskern
