          The paper you enquire about I can tell you better in a few
 days. I have remaining some, not more than I should
 use at once, were I to glew [glue] my plants and
 make clean work.


 Mr Emmersons [G. B. Emerson] report on the trees of Mass. [Massachusetts] is
 I presume to be printed as a state Document.
 I did not offer to work on the willows for him. 
 Though I named the set of specimens he brought
 with him, which afforded him high satisfaction,
 and I shewed him the willows in the growing 
 state. I subsequently sent him a full
 description of Populus laevigata. I shewed him 
 a fine row of these trees on the banks of the Connecticut 
 about 80 feet high, which delighted him. Out of 
 my field notes and mem. [memoranda] I drew up a full
 account of its flowering and fruiting, more exact
 it is presumed than any thing which has been
 printed. In a letter received from him he says 
 "shall make free use" of my article.
 He sent me a full set of the Mass. [Massachusetts] Geolog [Geological?]
 Reports, and some other vols. with the Quarto
 vol. of Geology by Hitchcock, and paid 
 the carriage in the bargain. How different
 this to New York!!! I do not, to be frank
 expect you can get me a copy of your
 Flora though I gave you about 3,000 specimens
 to help you with your sets.
