Doct. [Doctor] Torrey

Dr. [Dear] Sir, I wrote to you some four weeks
since, how you might forward that
package of plants from Buckley. The
man by whom I sent it put it into the
lower branch post office, which is probably
the reason you did not receive it. I now
wish you to send the package to Gross & 
Fordham's 55 Front St. direct to me, care
of F.A. Stebbins. In my first letter I 
wished you to send the package to John Steward
and Co. Pearl St. If you have by chance recd. [received] the
first letter & sent the package to that place
it need not be removed. I will direct Mr. Stebbins
to call there and get it. Mr. Stebbins goes to day
will probably start out of the city next week on
Thursday. If no. 3 of the Flora is out, please send
it in the package. N.B. [Nota bene] If you wish any more
of our plants in this region, send me a list.
My respects to Dr. Gray &c.

Yours
H.P. Sartwell

P.S. Perhaps you had better send to the lower branch
& get the first letter.
