Mr. Leroy,

Dr [Dear] Sir,

I expected to 
be in the city this week but shall 
not be able to accomplish it. I 
shall be very glad to get the paper 
you so kindly offered me and also 
those volumes of the History of N.Y. [New York]
that contain the botany, geology 
and agriculture. If you will 
put them up in a package and 
have them left at Shepards in 
Broadway (Spalding & Shepard) my 
brother-in-law will call for them 
on Saturday next and bring 
them to me, and I will return 
them when you say I shall.

I am looking up the plants 
of the neighborhood pretty thoroughly 
and will give you anything I may 
find that you may want.

I am be yours truly
O.R. Willis
