The Balance in our favor in N. Berthoud's hands is $ 1358.91—We have due _South of this_ $ 1834.48. and at Boston $ 1220.00—altogether $ 4413.39.—The Boston amount will be ready for me when I reach there on Thursday next.—I take from N. B's hands here $ 800.00.—300 $ of which I give to your Dear Mother—when at Boston I will take 500 $ more and send the Balance to N. Berthoud—he will then have about $ 1278.91 of cash out of which he will send you 100 £ say 480 $ leaving still with him about $ 798.91, besides what he will collect from the South the amount which is mentioned above, _all of_ which I hope will be collected ere I return to this Place, as early as I can without losing the opportunity of doing all that can be done. You will easily perceive by all this that we have been extremely fortunate of late on this Side of the Water, and the 400 £ forwarded to you will fully enable you to meet the demands of Havell &c for the 20 Volumes you have to send here & other emergencies.—We have at Present 51 Subscribers in the U. States, without the name of Docr Croghan from whom not a word has been heard, and also without that of _Baron Krudener_ who is now at Washington City, but who has not taken any cognisance of the letter I sent him. N. Berthoud is going to write to him and I hope the Baron will take the work.—he certainly ought. I found the Plates sent here better coloured than usual and with your present assistance I greatly hope the goodness of the Work will still improve.—Nicholas will forward you Two very beautiful Numbers—the Plates are as follows, No 37. Plate 181. Golden Eagle Figures 1 "—182. Ground Doves " 5 "—183. Golden crested Wren " 2 "—184. Mangrove Humming Bird " 5 "—185. Bachman's Warbler " 2 No 38.— "—186. Pinnated Grous " 3 "—187. Boat Tail Grackle " 2 "—188. Tree Sparrow " 2 "—189. Snow Bunting " 3 "—189. Yellow bellied Woodpecker " 2 I should have sent you 2 more Numbers had I The Two large Plates for them, but hoping that I may meet with something Large & perhaps New I Shall not do so, until I return which will be Still time enough.—I am very anxious to See the 2d Volume finished and for this reason invite you to push the Work, as much as you can & have it very well executed meantime.
