          look and read well.  The Dr. thinks that it would be [crossed out: well] better
to dispense with the "Brack." as my authority; to this I agree
with pleasure; as I have often on account of a difference in [?]
[ation]? transfered [transferred] a species from one genus to another, and taken
full credit therefore, which always appeared to me to be more
than the discovery was worth. With regard to giving the 
<u>Character</u> of the <u>Orders</u>, if you think it better that they should
be left out, then do so. And as concerns the rule which 
I have followed in giving <u>Generic Character</u>, I would state,
that only such were given, as had been recently formed, or an
old one when I thought I could better it; now what is your 
opinion, do you think that if a [number]? must be given, that
we [?] [added: shall] have to give all or else none?  I would state 
here, that the Mosses, Fuci and Fungi, are to go into the
same [vol.]?  with my ferns -- and this will make a large Book
and I would not like any matter withdrawn from my part, 
which might tend to weaken its force.

There are one or two terms that I have made use of throughout 
the whole work which are not always applicable to the 
part meant - as ["Cacivia"]?, when it ought sometimes to be 
segment; and "lower and superior" when it ought to be 
lower and interior, and for "lower and inferior" it ought to be
lower and exterior; but these can be corected in the proof.
I would like to know what you think of my two <u>new</u> 
Genera sent you, please to suggest a <u>name</u> for each, in
truth my dear Sir am troubling you to [too] much about this 
work of mine. During the last two days Dr. G. spent
here, I only saw him for about five minutes, andhe was
then about starting to go down to the Cars. I think he told me
