          Can you tell me anything of Greene. Mr. Arnotte [George Walker-Arnotte?] had a letter from Mr. Greene, which I answered long ago by writing to Greene himself. But I have heard nothing of him for near a year.

My dear friend

Before taking up  any new topic, it may be as well to
go on with the old. In a letter I wrote to you about two months ago (and
sent along with a small parcel of plants, by a friend to Glasgow
who gives in charge to the first vessel for New York) I commenced
giving you notes about Drummondi and Douglas Graminacae, extracted
from a [?mat] by Nees von Esenbeck; I now proceed from where I left
off.
