Transcript
My dear Sir
I have attended so little to the sensible properties of vegetable Medicine & to the proper time for gathering & preparing that it would be affectation in me to offer to give an opinion about it. On looking at the specimen of conium you have sent ment {1} I am of course struck at the beauty of its colour & naturally ask whether it would not be more efficacious than the plant gathered in June. For several acts of kindness I feel myself indebted to you & am dear Sir
Your obliged Serv[an]t
