          Vasey is to accompany me or rather I am to
 go in company with him - We shall probably
 botanize a week from Rome to Lake
 Ontario and [crossed out: from] along the shore of the Lake
 about Sacketts Harbour -


 In the letter above named I have requested
 your advice respecting what you might
 particularly desire, and requested you also
 if convenient to lend me a trifle of ready
 cash until my return - I have money due
 me from a perfectly good man but fear
 I shall not be able to get it in time for
 pocketing before I leave - My plan is
 to leave in time to get to Rome by the
 13th inst. Before going on rather on the
 way I must spend a day or so in New York
 city & a short time in Troy - also at
 my Father's 20 miles out of Albany - And
 at Utica -. My business here is so that
 I cannot well leave until the 10 or 11th
 inst. Any instructions or requests you may
 feel disposed to make had better be forwarded
 to ^ [inserted: the care of] My son in New York city
 No 223 Houston Street.


 I have not received anything from Boott
 except his small pamphlets published in Boston
 viz Descriptions of 4 New Carices of N America &
 De [Caruibus?] by F. Booth M.D. etc. etc.
