          Professor John Torrey
Princeton

August 24, 1854

I write to know if you at Princeton
at this time. I wish to send you
some Californian specimens
taken from my plants here.
They are numbered and I have [?]
duplicates with same numbers 1 and 2.
Wish you to tell me the names of
such as you can.
Yours truly,

Wm R. Prince

The parcel is just completed and
sent you soon as I hear from you
which is the best mode 
for safe conveyance. i suppose
there is an express line.
I send new catalog.
