rather long visit — & where
I have a good deal of
work to do. Every [?]
[?] [?] I go must
now be given to a Report
on Rocky Mt. Botany,
which I promised Dr.
Hayden long ago, &
which must now be done
— [?]. I ought never to have
promised it. It will
be a tight squeeze to
get it off my hands —
I will [?] your
book, and if I get a
little time to consider it,
I may say something of
it. Otherwise I must
leave it for Goodale — who
is half-overwhelmed with [?]

— but is not driven into
a corner as I am.

Will you come to
[?] A. A. [?]? [?]
[Dr?] I shall have a
chance to see you, &
to take you by the
hand before I go.

Very sincerely Yours
A[?]
