River Styx1 April 20th
My Dear Sir I returned from the mountains yesterday and having business in Town I started to day and arrived just in time to send your small parcel by the Southern Cross I think I got you what you required the seeds are very small you will find them in an envelope. I shall be going on mount field next this next summer iff iff the Lord spares me and allows me my health I have been there since I saw you.2 iff I meet with any thing strange I will preserve it for you. I sent you some water plants in the end of last summer. I left them with Dr Officer to forward to you but I never heard iff you received them
Dr Sir you must excuse this scral3 for the Cross is nearly starting trusting this will find you enjoying Good health as it leaves me at present I trust we may have another ramble some of those days and believe me to remain yours truly
