My dear sir

I now write
to inform you of an opportunity by which you can 
forward any parcel you may receive for me.
If you will be so good as to hand them (bound
up and directed to me) to Joshua or William Baldwin
No. 25 William St. N.Y. They will be carefully attended to.
The Baldwins are old friends of mine and are
very frewquently forwarding goods to this place.
I have written to them on the subject. I have 
just received one parcel from you through [?]
(the only one I presume that has been sent) containing 
Drummond's Musci Scotici 2 vols. Sir William 
Hooker's Flora Boreali Americana 10 numbers with
a supplement to the 6th no. Icones Plantarium by the
same vols 1&2 & Wright's & Arnott's Prodromus Florae 
Penin. Ind. Orien. vol. 1st. Never having seen any of
these works before they are all exceedingly interesting
to me. Sir William's drawing are admirable
as well in the execution as in the analysis of the
subjects. I am now busily engaged in discussing
the parcel. I hope you keep a memorandum
what is sent, in case of a [miscarriage?] it might 
be useful.

Yours truly
Wm. S. Sullivant
