 remained incorrected especially
 as at times I absolutely could
 not find time to visit the 
 office and examine myself. Still
 you see that almost the only 
 positive errors of spelling of
 Kallstroemeria and Heliotrophium 
 were your own: the
 omissions and blanks always
 yours and the variations
 of punctuation partly yours and
 partly the printers. The rest
 may be ascribed to positive mistake 
 on part of printer and to
 natural [misc???????tion] of your
 hasty [mss/message?]
    There now - I have fired
 a red hot shot into you - which
 will not make you burnt however
 I hope. The printers ought to have the
 credit of doing well as they could
 where they were issuing about 200 pages
 a day of such matter. Public
 documents and I have had no
 interest beyond a jealous vigilance
 for the rights of science and a
 desire to do what I could to
 remedy an evil. I think
 that no comparison can be
 made between the present state
