Robert Bonner Esq.

New York,

My dear Sir,

Your letter of Jan'ry 25th with enclosure, was duly received, but mislaid and until today I have not had an opportunity to answer it.

It seems to me that if you would write a treatise on horses feet it would be of great value to owners and breeders, and an act of kindness and charity to the horses themselves.

Yours Very Truly

Dear Dr

Am doing what I can to clean up my desk so as to leave tomorrow morning on Steamer [Brethams?]

Among my papers I find the enclosed which I have not examined but thinking possibly there may be something in them have concluded to enclose them. I have been confined to the house and most of the time every room for the last ten weeks with
