          I have since written a letter to his Grace dated
 Jany [January] 16th and my last bears date Mar 6th, and I shall
 soon have occasions to trouble him again
 have some further dried specimens to send him
 of our Willows not having had time to complete this
 arrangement when I despatched the box in the month
 of January. 


 I am very glad to hear that you have a package 
 of specimens of Willows from Mr Borrer. Can you give
 me his address, since I am desirous to write him.
 Dr Hooker stated to me sometime ago he would be glad
 to review Cuttings of willow from me, and therefore
 it will afford me much pleasure to forward him
 all I can next winter. I have now a set of willows
 ready for him. but I shall wait a short time before
 I send them, and may [crossed out: sen] [inserted: forward] them with a package
 that will soon be ready for our excellent friend
 Dr Hooker, be so kind as mention this to himin 
 your next letter, lest mine should not reach him
 soon at the same tell him he will soon have the proofs of my
 industry and labours.


 I am very desirous to visit you again, and shall
 therefore take a trip very soon. I have much
 to say but must wait till I can have the pleasure
 of seeing you. Mrs Torrey and your daughters, be so
 kind as tell them, I have by no means forgot the
 interest I take in their studies and welfare
 my last visits and further acquaintance with them
 rendered their society peculiarly interesting to me.


 Present my kind respects to Mrs Torrey and your Daughters
 I am very sincerely and with the 
 Higest regard yours
 Joseph Barratt
