          on the other side I have copied for you the fig [figure] in the Berlin Transactions
 the stipule is very small in the figure.  While S prinoides [Salix prinoides]
 may be distinguished by the large mass of this appendage.
 Notice also the thickness of the leaf and also the flower
 if any. You may also take a look at [crossed out: the?] S Conifera [Salix conifera]
 of Muhl [Muhlenberg] mss [manuscript] which is S mublenbergiana [Salix mublenbergiana] with cones,
 but a very different thing to the plant of Waugh
 the latter leaf having a strongly serrate margin.
 S muhl [Salix mublenbergiana] never has.
 If there is a copy of the Annals of Botany do look
 at it and let me know if the figures cited by Pursh
 are merely copies from the Berlin Transactions. 


 My kind friend Capt. Graham you must be aware is
 safely returned. he brought a letter from Mr. Shepherd
 of the Liverpool Botanic Garden who was much
 delighted with the things I sent him.


 I desired him to send me a number of living Willows
 these he obtained he says in London of a friend
 but does not say who.  
 There are several things he will want and these
 it will give me great pleasure to send him
 next winter.


 Mr. Shepherd informs me they had just begun to remove
 their plants to a new garden twice the size
 and a mile further back 


 I purpose taking up and cultivating all the orchidea
 I can procure with the view of sending them
 to Liverpool. Will you do the same? I shall bring
 on all my Specimens [added: of the genus Orchis] to compare with your
 Herbarium and there may be some that may
 prove useful to you.


 Yours very Truly
 J Barratt
