          not made any particular selection of the plants I send 
 you, in the supposition, that to you likewise the difference 
 in the forms of the same plant, but from different
 countries, will be interesting. Besides the alges
 and Zoophytes found in the North and East seas, I can
 send you also some from the Mediterranean Seas and
 likewise a few Exotica. I beg of you, to favour me
 with your commands in this [head?], without the smallest
 reserve. If you were in possession of duplicates of the
 said plants from other countries, namely from South
 America and would spare me any of them, I would
 request you to send me their specification. Experience 
 has taught me, that in this manner only,
 i.e. by an intercourse of exchange one may gradually
 succeed in procuring of these interesting
 plants a collection that may be called nearly compleat [complete]. 

 I have the honour to be very respectfully

 Sir

 Your most [?] hble [humble] servt [servant]
