          Mr. Wright goes soon say about the 15th of the
 present month and will probably be associated
 with yourself and Dr. Gray the coming season.
 He will have a pleasant and happy time of it
 and well he deserves it. Besides being a scholar
 and a gentleman he is one of the most industrious men
 in his profession I ever knew. Dr. Parry with whom
 I have not been so long associated also appears to be
 equally amiable intelligent and gentlemanly.
 You are probably better acquainted with both of
 them however than I am. Mr. Wright will
 leave us with Torrey & Grays Flora Fendlers [Augustus Fendler] plants
 Wrights plants and I have a copy of Lindheimer [Ferdinand Lindheimer]
 and Wislizenus's [Adolphus Wislizenus] plants and Lindleys introduction [John Lindley's An Introduction to Botany]
 so that we can get along much better than we
 had anticipated and do not sensibly feel any
 disappointment in Chandler's not bringing us 
 what we had spoken for. I want the same disposition
 made of my second parcel of plants as 
 with the first and a full and complete set reserved
 of all the plants I may collect for the Smithsonian
 Institute although they had not the graciousness
 to acknowledge the receipt of those I sent you
 through them thinking perhaps your acknowledgement
 sufficient. Mr. Wright in person & Maj [Major]
 Emory by correspondence will doubtless confer
 with you respecting the best plan to be adopted
 in reference to them. Mr. Wright's & Fendlers
