Sir

I delayed replying to your note of yesterday at M^r. Henneman's request as he expected to send you some more Leaves, but these not being ready, I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of a parcel, containing 9 packets which arrived this morning and will be duly delivered today. With respect to the first packet, mentioned in your letter of yesterday as unacknowledged, I beg to acquaint you that they did not come to my hands at all, M^r. Henneman received them without my cognizance, and his failing to acquaint me with the same is the cause of the apparent neglect.

I have sent per Rail the number of `Frazer' which you can keep or return, at your pleasure -

I am Sir Your Obed^t Serv^t

for Henneman & Co
