          In this Portfolio which I desire 
may be returned by Mr Johnson

I hope Dr Gray will send me a few 
of his rare Plants from the mts [mountains] of 
N [North] Carolina especially Carex [Frarense?]
Geum radiatum, and Diphyllea [Diphylleia]
Cymosa

I shall be able to make him a full 
return.
