My Dear Torrey,

I have your kind note 
of May 21st, & shall take some
to see the carex you speak 
of. Sir John Richardson is
printing our account of his
last Journey, & will append
to it a Geographical list of
the N. Am. [North American] carices, which
I hope may arrest the attention
of Dear Carey, & lead 
him to correct my errors.
I fear your many occupations
will prevent your doing so.
I long to see good ripe specimens
of the Genus from the
Pacific coast, especially the 
Northern points, & I will always
faithfully return to 
you any your may spare 
me to look at. I am curious
also to trace the extent
of our State forms with S. Ama [South America]
