 My Dear Sir,

 On Monday 31st Jany [January]] I left at 
 the office of Adam's & Co's Express in Norwich, a package
 of plants put up for yourself. The Agent assured me
 that it would be sent to your address immediately on 
 its arrival in New York. If you have not received it ere
 this, it will be found at the Office, No. 9 Wall st. (I think).

 It contains some plants gathered during the past season,
 in the intervals of business & a few selected from former
 collections in the Western part of Connecticut.
 Of the latter are Arabis thaliana. Dentaria laciniata.
 Mentha canadensis. Atheropogon apludoides. Parietaria pensylvanica.
 Panicum amarum, collected first in 1829.
 Aristida ___: a large stiff species for which I have no
 specific also coll. [collected] in 1829 Tripsacum dactyloides. Poa fasciculata.
 Scutellaria [Scutellaria parvula?] ? from E [East] Haven Pond. 
 & a Cerastium [crossed out: illegible] Rudbeckia hirta? &c. [et cetera]
 Of the former are Elatine Am. [Americana], Limosella. Tillaea & 
 Hottonia. Aira aristulata Tor? apparently the plant of
 your Flora Vol. 1 p. 131. Malaxis Loesillii [Malaxis loeselii] & Lillifolia [Malaxis liliifolia].
 Microstylis Ophiogloss. [Microstylis ophioglossoides] a Cyperus sp. [species] not known.
 & a Juncus not known if it be any thing uncommon.
 I send a good many mainly to verify my names.
 hoping you will name such as are nameless & correct 
 such names as are incorrect. When a specimen 
 is numbered please attach the name to the number.
 I had intended to send you a full suit of
 my Asters & Solidagos but have not time.
