12th [November, 1823] – Received a letter
dated 5th October from Joseph Sabine Esq., [Secretary of the
Horticultural Society] accompanied by additional lists; without delay
wrote to Messrs Landreth and Smith; called on Mr Floy; Mr Hogg then
went to Flushing [site of Mr Prince’s nursery] and returned
in the evening. I must observe that Mr Prince Jun., did not receive
us with kindness but the reverse. If I can but obtain all the plants
for the Society, I shall leave him for some other person.
Thursday, November 13th, 1823 – Wrote to Mr Dick
at Philadelphia a letter of thanks. Packed Mr Floy’s box and took
up plants and packed Mr Wilson’s.

Douglas
is now really in the groove of packing all his material up for the
voyage back to Britain. But he really does not hit it off with Mr
Prince; there'll be another bust up before he leaves New York!
