 P.S. Since your last letter to me I have
 seen Bishop Elliott the son of my old friend
 the Botanist. He told me you never had
 my fathers herbarium in possession as I had
 Supposed, that parts only had been forwarded
 to you. I have no doubt the [Santalacia?]
 you have dedicated to Mr Darby
 in the herbarium. I know specimens
 were sent to him by me & recd._ as I always
 sent him the best, perhaps both
 male & female specimens may be in
 the herbarium.  I hope you will
 through Dr. Backman or directly
 to Miss Elliott cause a search to
 be made.
