My Dear Sir

It was not until about three days
since that I learned, in a letter from Mr Cimler of
your return from the Albama county; which has
delayed my writing to you for some time past, which
indugling a hope that you would take Augusta in
your way back. — I worked to show you my little her=
=barium and proffer any of its contents to you that
might be worth your acceptance; not however believing
that there can be much or any thing in it new to you:
particularly as I ahve not made collections for the
last year, and prior to that time I used to add some
of all I thought could be interesting to you, to those Dr
Baykin sent you thro' my hands. And to make a set
=tlement of the amt due you for the copies of your work
that I have distributed. — Enclosed are notes to the
amt of $56 — which added to the 54 pd you by Mr
Singlie on my apc is.................110
No on hand.............................107
No amt to Dr Baykin..................33
250

which corresponds with 50 copies rec'd of each Nos 1,2,3,4&5
