          It may perhaps be Hysopus [onesetoiceus?], this is only conjecture
I would have sent you the Stores which I have collected were I 
not of opinion that they are of no consequence. The only specimens
which I have obtained of any consequence this season are
[?] two of Pyritis. I received a short time since a letter from
Mr. Robert Prince requesting the Seed of [Movara?] [kolnieva?]
& Cuplia [?], the latter I could not send him, the 
former I have. Together  with the seed of [Isanthus?] [?].
They are in the package directed to you if you will give them
to him when he calls for them or forward them to him it
will oblidge [oblige] me. There are enough for you to keep a few if
you desire them. If he should leave a letter for me with
you if you will forward it [added: to] the bearer of this before he
leaves New York it will reach me in safety.
I send this and the package by Mr. Jeulius M
Haughtan, he will put his direction on the
back of the letter. If you write me will take [?].
I assure you it is very unpleasant for me to be so totally
ubavle [crossed out: for me] to send you either plants or minerals. I have
come almost to a determination to [procreate?] the study of botany
& mineralogy as far as my limited [?] will allow
& be contented with that, for if I request correspondents it is 
not in my power to repay them for their favours.
As often as your leisure will permit write me, for it one of
the greatest sources of pleasure to me to receive letters from
my friends. The bearer of this will remain in New 
York about two weeks.

I remain Dear Friend,
Yours

P.S. There are three specimens of Stores which I think I 
may return to find you & they are all which I think
are of sufficent consequence to forward to you. MS.
