152 THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 
have his synopsis [4] & Icones [2]. In a little work I lately received 
from Germany (Jahrbücher der Gewachskunde [40]) is a short 
paper by Ehrenberg [21] on three new genera of Fungi, Actino- 
cladium, Campsotrichum & Enteridiuwm—Are you ES with 
them? Shall I send the book? 
Please send your remarks on the plants of this as as 
soon as you have leisure to examine them. I can hardly ask 
anything of you until I send something more. 
I was going to add some observations on your desiderata 
which you sent some time since but want of time & room prevent 
me—I also find I have lent Mr. Halsey your Hepaticae [74] & 
cannot get it in time to make out a list of the species which I 
want. Pray send me two copies by mail as soon as possible 
for which I will return money or other books.. It is said to be for 
sale in the Philadelphia book stores but we cannot get anything 
readily from that city. Do you want Sprengel’s Neue Ent- 
deckungen [84] v. 1? I think there is a copy to be had here. It 
contains some valuable remarks on many new & rare plants, re- 
views of late works &c. Has Mr. Halsey sent anything to Mr. Van 
Vleck? Would it be worth while for me to correspond with him? 
I think you have put me under so many obligations to you that 
I shall have enough to do to prepare for you—. 
With great respect I remain—Your grateful friend 
Joun TORREY.

SCHWEINITZ TO TORREY 
SALEM Oct 29th 1821 
Dr Jonn Torrey New York 
Dear Sir 
It was indeed a cman after rather a long time of anxious 
expectation to receive your kind letters of the 8th & 13th of 
this month at once. They afforded me a scientific feast besides 
the grateful feelings for what you have so kindly sent me. 
I do not entirely however understand, whether the box you put 
on a Petersburg packet on the 13th containing such a variety of 
invaluable plants, that I can scarcely wait patiently until I see 
them, is the same with the one you mention as neglected to be sent
