Correspondence from Gerard Troost to John Torrey, dated May 28, 1824. Troost starts off with a gentle chiding for Torrey's recent silence ("I know my dear Sir, by experience that a young wife takes up all the leisure time of the husband and of course will not scold you that you forget your friends..."), then moves on the business at hand-- a commission granted to another chemist "farr [sic] inferior to me," which Troost would like to have reassigned to him
