Sir,—You wished to know what is become of the late Mr. Mackay’s 
Herbarium it is in the hand of his brother but I am certain he does 
not mean to part with it I believe it consists mostly in Foreign 
: ad 
eke the highlands but I am certain it does not abound in neither 
I shall give you an impartial siecdne—when ou have ci 
of mosses or lichens of such as are plansifilly about UMfewcaatle I 
would be oblidged to te for a few of e ave a appli- 
to send you a part of any I have in return—you wish 1 know if I 
have made any new discoverys in my last excurtion the snow was 
on the high mountains by the time I got 40 miles from Edinbr. so 
that I was not so fortunate as I could a wished however I find I have 
the Erigeron alpinu 
Borealis quite in the lowla “de a yiace one would have little thought 
of finding them I have also a new oo hina I found in 1802 
which Dr Smith writes me he has named after me it is somewhat 
like denticulatum but at same cade very Differen 
I am yours i: 
(Sgd.) G. Don.! 
1 Another untidy letter ; the thread is broken and resumed all over the 
pages. Much of the mis-spelling i is lost in transcription, because the Peay 
at times is so hard to read that the letters cannot be dintiigeaiahed. —B.D./.
