Planning a trip to New Jersey & Philadelphia


Saturday, October 25th, 1823 – Wrote to W Coxe, Esq., and to Mr Dick, Philadelphia. Putting to rights specimens and seeds in the forenoon. At Mr Floy’s raking up plants &c till midday when I went to Flatbush on Long Island and returned late at night.

Sunday 26th October 1823 – The fore part of the day I rectified some of the lists preparatory to going to Philadelphia. Today was cold and had much the appearance of winter. Mr Clinton was to dine at Dr Hosack’s; I was invited after dinner. I walked out to Mr Hogg’s and got to town after projecting a trip to Jersey in the morning.
