My Dear Dr.

I reached Hartford this
morning before sunrise and [?]
to breakfast. Passage quiet & 
pleasant, [former?] all well.

Prof. [Baird's?] letter is rather unsatisfactory,
being nothing more
than he had written to me the day
before to which I replied promptly.
The expedition will be gone three
years.

He could ge me no money but
promised to keep a sharp lookout
for it in future.

Has Miss Jane found any "little things" 
missing since I left?

Pray write me if you hear anything
in my way of business or about the
[?].
