THE CORRESPONDENCE OF SCHWEINITZ AND TORREY 263 ` 
bill is nearly $6 for expenses to Hamburgh.—Dr. M. has sent the 
Acad. a fine Atlas & set of plates, intended to illustrate his & 
& Spix’s Travels [83]—to the Lyceum he has presented a copy 
of his Nov. Gen. & Sp—pl—Brazil.—a beautiful & valuable work 
[51]. 
As your parcels were necessarily opened at the Custom house 
I took the liberty of peeping into one or two bundles of your 
plants, but they did not appear to be very interesting—there 
were many old German acquaintances among them, & I expect 
they are the scrapings of the Dr’s. duplicate herbm. 
In your last letter you held out to me the hope that I might 
reap some benefit from the revision of your Herb. which you 
expected to undertake the beginning of the present year. Allow 
me to remind you of my list of wants which I sent you some time 
since. 
The parcels from Munich are left with Mr. Bininger, in Broad- 
way, with the request that they may be forwarded to you by 
the first good opportunity.— 
_ I have received nothing new since the winter commenced, 
except a Splachnum from Quaker Bridge which my friend Dr. 
Greene of Boston collected last spring. I inclose you a fragment 
of it—the Species wh[ich] it most resembles is S. tenutfol{tu]m of 
Hook. & Tay[lor]. Muse. Brit. ed. [ ] [38] but it differs in 
some respects. I have not yet compared it with the specimens 
collected by Drummond in Arctic America.|[* 
Have the Carvills forwarded you a copy of my edn. of Lindley 
[46]? One was left for you in their Charge more than a month 
since 
Yours very truly

Dr Joun Torrey, New York : 
` Dearest Sir 
Your favor of the 3d instant gave me the most lively pleasure 
& not the least part thereof was caused by your declaration 
of constancy to your first scientific love. With all possible esteem
