          If you have them in your possession please forward
them by the first good opportunity. - Dr. Mead
of Augusta Ill. had forwarded for me to Mr. Wm A.
Mead, Corner of James & Cherry Sts. N.Y. a package of
plants which have been there since July last. I have
requested Mr. William Torrey to send for them but whether
he will think of it or not  is questionable - There
is another for me at 117 Broad St. [added: (up stairs)] at the office of
John Rice from Dr. Sartwell of Penn Yan. -
This I have also requested Mr. Torrey, to call for. -

I have now for the first time succeeded to
get the vaccine virus to produce any effect &
I intend to keep it fresh here as long as possible
until all the children have been vaccinated whose
parents can be prevailed upon to have it done

All well. Please Present my kind regards to
Mrs. Torrey & Family

& Believe me truly yours
