          Did the long communication named in my last ever
reach you?
I shall be obliged if you will give me the 
address of the Rev. Mr. Curtis in North Carolina
I much desire to write [crossed out: to] this Gentleman to make an
exchange of plants. I learn from Mr Buckley last
letter that he had [applied?] to him for plants!
and I think I can do something for him. [added: in the way of 
exchange] 
I also wish for the address of Mr Tuckerman
of Boston.

Mr Buckley informs me you have desired him 
to send the living plant of the Croomia! I should
be glad to cultivate it, or even to see a specimen.

My next effort will be to send away the sets of 
my plants and then I shall have time to do 
something for you. My Dupliate [Duplicate] Stock
rate at 40,000 specimens and many of them 
of large size!! I wish to send sets of Willows 
to Europe. Those for France and Berlin will
Dr Gray be able to attend to  for me?  I should
be glad to know. If not I must look to some 
friend or agent in the City.

With great regards
& Truly Yours
J Barratt
