          The silver cup I do not remember having
 heard of - I remember something about a [shaving?]
 for which I inquired after I learned it was sent
 to Princeton. I will inquire about the cup
 & have it forwarded. Messrs Brown & White
 came here yesterday on the Mission & last
 evening Mr. Brown gave us a lecture - About
 a week since My long lost son returned
 or rather came home and like most of
 our new settlers is wofully homesick, but I
 think he will get over it pretty soon. I think
 some of putting him into the School under
 my own direction where he will have a
 good opportunity to improve his own mind


 Give my kind respects to Mrs. Torry & Family


 And Believe me sincerely yours

 P.S.


 I am in great distress for a little 'ready'  Have
 you anything of the Thorburn package? Four
 or five dollars would greatly relieve my present
 distress. - - - - - - P.D.K.
