          & Solidagos You may have
 to spare at anytime.
 You sent Hooker
 Aster Surculosus from
 New Jersey. It may be 
 the plant of Michaux,
 but at present I consider
 it A. gracilis [Aster gracilis] of Nuttal [Nuttall].
 Have you a duplicate? 
 I am curious to see the
 true A. Surculosus [Aster Surculosus], &
 A. carolinianus [Aster carolinianus]. I should
 be glad to aid you in
 settling the Species of
 these dift [different] genera, & you
 would oblige me by
 interesting any of your
 Correspondents for me
 & my wants. Dr Short
