 I have written to  Buckley 
 to look carefully for this 
 and given him all I find 
 in the Flora of Tor [Torrey] & Gray
 respecting it.


 Pterospora andromedea
 do you find this?. have it 
 only in fruits. Can you let me 
 have a flowering specimen? 


 I should be glad to 
 make exchanges in Carices
 if you will send a list of 
 the rare ones you can 
 share. I will also send 
 a list of what I have. 


 Buckley has done nobly this 
 season in collecting but will 
 tell you all about them in my next. 


 You enquired about collections of Insects. I have a great number, and am 
 gradually increasing them. Some years since I promised a collection for the 
 son of Sir W J [William Jackson] Hooker. I regret that my other duties have compelled me to defer 
 the arrangement of them. I shall as early as possible send what I designed 
 to this Young Gentleman. I shall besides have many to share. What 
 Dr Greville is it? Do you mean Dr Greville of Edinburg [Edinburgh]. if so I will 
 send him some of mine. tell me more about this in your next 
 and I wish you would name to Sir Wm [William Jackson Hooker] the reasons the Insects have not 
 been already sent as promised. such things should be done promptly 
 but you know how incessantly one like myself with no assistant has to work 
 to complete collections and Herbariums.
