My Dear Sir

Many and warm thanks for your Carices &c
which interested me greatly. I begin to see [illegible] 
among your N.A. species. I still want the fall's
& should you be able to spare me a few of them I shall
be grateful. I take names from Eaton because I
have not your paper or Deweys before me.
C. wormskioldiana [Carex wormskioldiana]. setacea. [crossed out: teretiuscula]. muricata. bicolor
loliacea, lagopodioides. cristata. festucacea. [crossed out: [terna?]. siccata
[crossed out: novanglia]. Saxatilis. Stricta. Fraseri. ovata. atrata. [crossed out: formosa]
fuliginosa. vestita. Davisii /Dewey /[calrecta?]. ustulata. castanea.
Washingtonia. Halseyi. tetanica. [crossed out: uranticulata?]. miliaris [Sakesii?]
Hitchcockii. verna. Barrattii. ampullacea. oligosperma. remota
& so on, to the end of Eatons list.

I can dispose of Baldwins plants, that is, his authentic
specimens. Brown will buy them at $5 the hundred.
His portrait is to be engraved. Myers who took
the profile you saw at Hookers is dead. Brown
says he will write to you about the plants you left
in his charge. I hear nothing of Hooker, Greville
or Graham. We have assembled at the Lin. Socs [Linnean Society's] ] but
nothing interesting has occurred. Some seeds said to
have been taken fr [from] the site of a human stomach
among the bones of 2 skeletons, found in a [illegible]
near Dorchester in oct [October] 1834, produced plants of [illegible]
Raspberry, & the bodies must have been buried
upward of 2000 years! Lambert produced a bit 
of the stem of a Dahlia from Mexico, said to grow 60
ft high! I am lost still about many of our Asters.
Lindley got up the [illegible] of the genus for [Dermandallers?] not
on Compositae.  Shall we ever see Elliotts Desmodia?
I have never found one of his n. sp. [new species] in our collections
here. Wray of Augusta must have some of them.

Had they offered me the Chair of Botany at Harvard & a 
decent maintenance I should have taken the post,
but to send me the Statute of the University wh. [which] requires
that I should "Lecture & give instructions on all the 
Sciences included in the Animal, Vegetable & mineral
