          away to my friends before I received your letter- so that I have not
 a duplicate left. The Caulophyllum thalictroides grows in abundance
 about a mile from this City on the border of a small stream that
 falls into the South bay. 

 My collection of [Cryptogamia?] plants is very small
 I intend however to collect those that grow in this neighbourhood the 
 following season. I shall collect sufficient to supply you
 with specimens. 

 I have no plants in my collection that I have not named - 
 whether right or wrong I am unable to say - those I send you
 I have numbered - that you may name them and return the    
 numbers named to me. If you would return the names by mail
 as soon as convenient you would oblige me as I am now
 making out a list of my plants for Professor Dewey of Williams
 College.

 I regret that the specimens I send you are so small
 and badly preserved My excuse is that I have exchanged so 
 much that I have but few duplicates that are handsome
