a West Chester Paper with a long [crossed out: paper] [added: article] lauding Dr.
Gray's qualifications as a Prof. I sent the paper to
Mr. Schenk but he is gone and I have not read
it all myself.

Have you ascertained anything
further of the Pinus since your last?

I have not yet made any very extensive collections
this Spring but am making preparations to go into
it extensively.

I forgot to tell you when you
were here that I have from my son about 4 months
since, he returned to Oriskany about the first of
January. At that time there was an extensive
revival of religion and he became a christian
(as I hope) from his own confession and the testimony
of others.) I somewhat expect him here on a
visit soon and perhaps he may stay a while.

I do not know what he may do for a living
perhaps some birth may be found here for a 
while.

All the folks are well.

Believe me truly yours
