Professor John Torrey
New York

Very Dear Sir, I have to inform you
that I am anxious if you will have received my
last letter and proofsheets which I sent by mail
and also that I engraved over again the four drawings
[crossed out: again] which were on the brocken [broken] stone and
pray you herewith to send me back as soon as you
can the four original drawings of them, that I 
may complete the same, which are those viz:
Heuchera rubescens, Perityle suffruticosa, Amblirion pudicum,
and Chenatis densifolia.

After their complement I will send the stones to Captain
Stansbury to Washington as you please directed me and
also my bill.

The early attention would much oblige.
Your
truly
Jos. Prestele
