          The package which was found missing at John
 Rice's 117 Broad St. up stairs came to hand yesterday
 It was by some means sent to Freehold N.J. and
 I received a notice from Throckmorton & Craig that
 it could be obtained by calling for it - I sent
 a messenger and received them in good order.
 The package was from Sartwell and contains
 many choice & interesting plants - Their loss
 could not have been replaced without much loss
 of time. - I have not yet received any
 intelligence of Friend Curtis's package but hope
 it will come on in good time - There is
 also a box for me at Princeton from Chester
 Co. Pa. from a Dr. Michener who was recommended
 to me by Dr. Darlington. - Dr Darlington has
 sent me his Flora Cestrica & Reliquiae Baldwinae [Baldwinianae?]


 The people here are all pretty well
 I mean the Torrey Family - Mrs. Schenk remains
 in good health - She had an attack of Influenza
 but is better -


 Believe me truly yours


 In great Haste
