          What would any botanical or 
 institution give for them.


 As soon as I get a little 
 time, I will send on the copies of
 your papers as requested. The sheets
 only arrived a few days ago: too late
 to go in the 5th vol [volume] which is now 
 being distributed. It will occupy
 the initial of vol [volume] VI nearly ready.


 The Bulletin has not been
 commenced. Perhaps if you were to 
 write to Prof [Professor] Henry and urge its inception
 he might authorize it.


 The meeting of Association
 will take place on the 28' of July.


 Very truly yours
