 Dear Sir


 I have received your kind favor of 29th
 Nov stating that you had written to me two or three
 weeks before; and I am very sorry to have to
 inform you that no such letter has been received.
 This I regret very much, as I suppose in it you
 probably made some remarks upon the parcel
 of plants I sent you. Have you any memorandum
 from which you can give me a �second edition�
 of the letter? I am always anxious to hear
 from you, and am vexed to think that any
 letter from you should be lost.


 I wrote to you again about a week
 ago by Mr Brown who will probably visit
 New York, and if so he will call upon you
 to see if have any thing for me in
 the shape of plants either from yourself or from
 any other correspondents who may have sent
 through you.


 The box you mention was indeed from
 me, and I wrote you by mail concerning it,
