          I regret very sincerely that I had
not the pleasure of seeing more of you during
my late visit to the East, and I do hope, should
I ever be in your region again, that I may
be so circumstanced as to have my time more
under my own controul [control]; in which event
I shall certainly avail myself of the opportunity 
of enjoying more of your society. And
if you should at any time be thrown within
striking distance of Louisville, I trust
you will not fail to visit me.

As the communications of Mr. B.
are not addressed to myself, I take the
liberty of returning them to you.

and remain, my dear Sir, very
truly yours
C.W. Short.

Profr. J. Torrey.
