          which you speak as containing
 a memoir of your own + [and] an account
 of Cal's [California] forest trees by Dr. [Doctor] Bigelow, a
 Congressional document? If not, where
 can I obtain it?


 Has Dr. [Doctor] Parry yet published his account
 of California plants? I understood 
 from him some two years ago that
 the work was then rapidly progressing
 + [and]  would [added : even] make its appearance [in?]
 very superior style. Since then I have
 heard nothing from him on it.


 Is the list that Dr. [Doctor] Gray + [and] yourself
 are preparing of the various expeditions
 to California to be a Smithsonian
 publication? I make these inquiries
 to ascertain where + [and] how I may obtain
 the works when they appear.


 I am greatly obliged for the information
 you have given me respecting works
 on California plants. I shall act upon
 it as soon as an opportunity [added : presents] to send to [Europe?]


 Very Truly Yours,
 T. L. [Timothy Langdon] Andrews
