I have engaged Mr. Vaughan to make an advance of a second sum of 250. dollars, an order for which on Mr. Hopkins I inclose to Colo. Gamble by this post.

Your favor of May 11. is just recieved, with the seeds & roots of the Tarragon, for which I return you my thanks. the root w had become entirely dry & without any principle of vegetation left in it. this was the less important, as I had some years ago succeeded in obtaining the plant from N.
