          that you and he do not agree on some points, e.g. you make 
Uralepsis cuprea of Kunth a Poa, while Nees v. [von] Esenbeck not only removes 
it from that genus, but even from that tribe of Grasses.

This is now at least the third letter I have written you since 
I heard from you, but I am perfectly aware that in winter you 
have no time for Botanical correspondence. Nor would I have 
written you at present, for I have little to say and have been 
very much engaged of late, were it not to announce another 
packet of Wight's plants for you. A young friend (no botanist) came 
here about a week ago for four days, and kindly volunteered to 
assist me in the distribution. As he was not accustomed to such 
work I did not choose to begin with the Gramineae and Cyperaceae, 
but have got over the Rubiaceae, Lauriaceae, Labiatae, and 
Scrophularineae: of these three back orders I have not yet got the 
Catalogue lithographed , but shall as soon as I get Nees v. Esenbeck's 
notes on one or two graminae, numbered but not yet named, 
which I sent to him to examine and which will be entered with 
the same lithographic sheet. I have more off the packet this 
morning to the care of Dr. Hooker, and requested him to forward it 
to your first opportunity. One thing I must request you to do, 
and that is to forward to me as soon after you get them as 
possible a list of [added: all] the numbers you receive, and I wish you to do 
the same with the Gramineae that Wight gave you [when: when] in this country. 
Already at Wight's request I have struck off the list several who 
will not comply. Wight and I have several reasons for this apparent 
harshness, but I know you will not be a defaulter. Indeed when a 
fresh supply comes I could not otherwise determine who have already 
been supplied, and in that case I only give to those who I have positively 
ascertained have not already got the plant. If you adopt the following 
plan, you might find a bit of the whole in half a page thus: 
1200, 3, 5, 11, 12, 13, 18, 22, 25, are all from 1200 to 1300 in one line, or in [crossed out: one] [added: another] below, thus: 
72, 78, 89, 90, 91, 97, 99 
1305, 6, 10, 25, &c. and so on.

I do not take these numbers on the supposition that you have them, 
for I do not know what you have, but merely as an example. I shall then 
insert them in [the?] register I keep to send to D. Wright.

Have you yet received a packet I sent you two months ago at last? 
I wish their numbers also. The list of the Orchidea is not yet lithographed.

In the course of [the?] days, the same assisting friend is to return 
here and aid me in distributing what remains vis the Acanthaceae,
