          My Dear doctor

if tomorrow, as promised my taylor [tailor] brings into your
store a coat, and my shoemaker a pair of boots for
me would you be so kind as to send the whole to
Mr. Borand's 36 Courtland St. who will send the whole 
to me with some other things I have left in his house.

I have arrived here with all my things safe and sound.
you will excuse my importunities for this time and 
in future, I shall be more discreet.  Yours in haste
L. Menand

Albany March 8/42 [1842]

My wife sends you her respects: and tells me to invite
you to come and see us next summer to collect
plants on the banks of the Mohawk etc

Yours aff [affectionately]  L M.
