          Mr. Willis invited me some time since to accompany 
 him to Long Island But I declined
 on acount of the inability to leave here for
 a long time at once. - I should have been delighted 
 to have him in company on such a tour


 Glad to hear from Fremont. - Is his report
 of his last expedition published? And is it getable


 I would very much like to see some of his coming
 plants! - Will you be so kind as to make me
 acquainted with your coming Rev. Mr. Holton if you
 think we can be of any service to each other. -


 I should like very much to make you a visit
 and to talk with you on botany and other matters


 Mr. Howell was disappointed in going to the
 Seminary this week and I must send this
 by Mail -


 Affairs at Manchesterhave really taken on a
 serious aspect. The question seems to be whether
 a man of strict integrity and veracity and an
 active christian or a man of reputed abandoned
 character in whom the people here can repose no confidence
 as it respects veracity and who seems to
 lack all the qualities which would make him useful
 in the community, and a suitable man to
 transact Mr. Torrey's business - This seems to be
 the impression of the good people of this place
 and if matters do not take a favourable turn
 in a very short time the 'little church planted in 
 the wildwood' will be left without any one here
 to care for its stnding and prosperity and itsmembers
 in deep mourning.
