spend the next day at Quebec & leave in
the evening for Portland — reading Gor=
ham, where they were to meet Herbert,
the following morning. Hastings meant
to remain with Guyot & assist him
in measuring the peaks of the White
Mountains.

I return Hochstein's bill, with
the addition that you advised me to
make.

Wilkes was at the Meeting, & we
talked about the drawings &c. He
will find Hochstein's parcel waiting
for him at Washington.

Poor Tipa! I do, indeed, lament
his death. You will miss him very
much — & so shall I when I go
to Cambridge.

Mr Stone got the small parcel as
well as the large one.

My extra copies of Plant. Whipple have
not yet arrived — but I found a single
one (sent by Express) on my table this
morning. It contains Bigelow's two
reports, & Sullivant's Mosses — the latter
not in a previous copy — sent two weeks
ago. I am mortified to find
so many typographical errors in
my portion of the work. Many of
these errors — indeed the most of them,
were corrected in my proofs. I
must make out a list of the more
serious mistakes & append it to
the copies that I distribute. Perhaps
the Superintendent of Public Printing
will authorize the insertion of the
errata list in all the copies.
