My dear Sir,

A length of time having elapsed since 
I have either seen or heard from you, I am induced 
to address you a few lines. I was in N. York a few 
weeks since, & called at the Medical College 
& was informed that you were at Princeton. 
I suppose you are now in N. York & again in class 
to use your own expression. I hope you have 
this year a goodly number of attending your 
lectures. N. York ought to be a great emporium 
of medical knowledge. For some time I have 
been planted here. If not richer I am healthier 
than in former years. I hope you have continued 
to prosecute our favorite science, & that you 
& Dr. Gray can report progress in relation to 
your great work on American plants. No. 3 of 
volume 2d I have never received. I suppose that 
the fourth number is in the press by this time. 
I should be pleased to receive no. 3 or any additional 
number that may have been published. 
You will confer on me a favour by having 
them sent to the care of Mr. C.S. Sperry no. 168 Pearl Street 
or if more convenient please to transmit them 
by the mail. I have contributed but little 
compared with what I at one time hoped to do
