Your Carex divisa is a good figure; but had I 
known of your publishing it, I should have desired 
you to have noted that strange variation of the 
culm, from sharp angles in moist rich situations, 
to almost round in stiff half-moist clay. I found 
it in great plenty in all its varieties in the Isle of 
Sheppy. Ihave a great notion that Hudson, in 
his first edition, took your L. chrysophthalmus for 
Suniperinus, Linn. 
Yours,

From the same. 
My dear Sir, Bulstrode, April 1, 1804. 
I waited till I came to this place, that I might 
write under the Duke’s cover before I thanked you 
for your very kind attention to me in sending me 
two copies of the third volume of your most excel- 
lent Flora Britannica. I see every thing you do 
with most partial eyes. I thought that I had long 
since done growing, but really I fancy myself some 
inches taller from the deference you have paid to 
my humble attempts at the genus Carex. I have 
just heard that there is a lady botanist at Roches- 
ter. I shall endeavour to find her out, and hope 
that she isa proficient. Ii is really hardthat during 
my whole residence at Windsor, as well as Roches- 
ter, I have not had a naturalist within my reach. 
The moment I can find one I shall run over my 
stores with him, and communicate with pleasure.
