 My dear Sir


 I had written to our friend 
 Asa Gray last week but fear I put
 my letter in the post too late for last 
 week's mail & I suppose it will
 only go with the same mail as this 
 one, since then yours of  the 6th 
 has come to hand it having followed 
 me here yesterday as I have come up
 to town for a fortnight & I have 
 brought with me a parcel containing 
 a few things I thought you might 
 perhaps like and which I shall 
 send off as soon as I have seen Dr. 
 Boott.


 I have just sent to the printers 
 Hartweg's plants to Saxifraga inclusive.
 As I wrote to Asa Gray I had called 
 the Saxifraga in question S. peltata.
 I shall have great pleasure in adding
 Torr. in litt. I wish you would give me 
 in time for inserting in the proof 
 in correcting, your name for the Rosaceae
 genus for they tell me Chamocubus
