          after the unreserved communications I have made 
to you from home to home- you owe it to me to 
keep me advised as to the plans you shall adopt,
that I may regulate my measures accordingly.

One matter of considerable consequence to me as 
special object of this letter, is to have your opinion 
as to the other persons besides Mr. Hitchcock, to when 
we should send the boxes wh are to come down 
from the Point: we should be eligibly in this subject, 
but our attention was turned from it to other 
affairs, + nudder separation prevented our 
renewing it: you have considerate most of the 
home correspondence, of therefore rest know 
who will send us the most valuable & (what is of little importance)- the earliest returning:
give me a list of several I wanted in the mode of transmission, will arrive for future 
as well as the special _ occasions. Holmes of Maine 
is a defaulter, & I must endeavor to find leisure 
to brush up his memory; as he owes us, we need 
not include his name in the list. 
Have you a list of the minerals which you have 
labelled in each box? A why of this is would be will 
to have A. add to those [?] I shall make out from 
the numbers on the papers you have from me. 
Do not let your destiny neglect to lest the zones 
on board the boat on her return, & direct the Capt. 
to send them to me if I should be able to call for them 
in their arrival.
