My dear Sir:

Last Wednesday we
passed by Princeton and with much regret that
we were unable to spend a few hours with you
(as I partially promised) wihtout parting with some
agreeable company on our long homeward journey.
We made Baltimore that day - came immediately 
on & reached here in safety a few days after.

Our flying trip was very pleasant. There was but
one thing wanting to have make it complete and
satisfactory, that was a visit to you.

We had a delightful time at Boston with
Gray & [B.D.?] Green.

You observe from Dr. Gray's note that we
thought a parcel was mislaid ([S.B.?] Buckley plants etc.)
I found it here on my returns. I could hear nothing 
of it at Baldwins or at Wiley & Putnams. It appears
they had forgotten having sent it. The large
