168 THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 
As you so kindly permit me to trouble you with further requests I 
shall take the liberty of stating to you, what I most eagerly desire 
to acquire. Any cryplogamous plant determined—& all unde- 
termined American Cryptog. plants are highly acceptable but 
equally so all Phaenogamic American plants—not yet in my collec- 
tion. You will greatly favor me by trying to procure from Mr. 
Prince, Missouri, Louisiana, or western specimens & I inclose you a 
list from Nuttall of the Missouri &c. which I have not. Next in 
order come determined European Phaenogamic plants especially 
from Spain, Italy, France or Greece—& Graminaceous ones from 
any part of the world. Lastly exotic plants from tropical coun- 
tries are highly acceptable, the Filices in equal degree with any 
others. Having the agreeable prospect before me of enjoying a 
little more leisure the ensuing year—I shall exert myself to lay in 
a stock of everything I meet with in order to supply you & your 
friends. I can expect to be of service to you only as regards 
Cryptogamia. ; 
Let me call your attention for a moment to one of the next 
numbers of the Journal of the Phil. Academy of Nat. Sciences in 
which you will find a dissertation of mine on two interesting 
hepatics [72]—of which I can send you specimens. I earnestly beg 
you may not scruple to demand anything in my power. In the 
course of next year I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you at 
New York. I mention to you that in the first weeks of January 
I shall probably be absent from home; but do not suffer this to 
induce you to retard sending on anything you may favor me with, as 
no greater pleasure could be enjoyed by me than to find large 
packages waiting for me. If you should happen to see Mr- 
Leconte please to tell him that I sent a copy of my Carol. Fungi 
[75] to him by the same opportunity with yours—the receipt of 
which I am ignorant of. 
With sincere esteem 
Your Most obdt Friend & Svt.
