          about the subject, and I am glad you saw the 
letter to have some conversation with him about 
the work.

In the note to the species which has been named 
in compliment to Mr Wm [William] Rich, is it proper to term
him "Naturalist". he may expect to be called Botanist?

With regard to the number of the extra copies,
I [crossed out: would] am of the opinion that we ought to 
have at least 60. and I propose that each 
of us bear a proportionate share of the expense 
of that number, and both to receive an equal 
amount of proceeds of all Copies sold, in order 
to cover the expense of paper and printing &c &c.
such an arrangement as this I would like ,
as I do not wish to make money by the 
concern, and would not at the same time 
like to lose much by it, and I do not 
think you would be enclined to sink more money
in the affair either, and I consider that 
you ought to have a goodly number of 
Copies, and some of these Copies ought to 
pay for those you intend to present to your 
friends: So therefore if you like the above 
proposition, you could stand in the concern 
and all its bearings as a silent partner.

I would like very much to have Springs 
Monog. [Monograph] of Lycopodeaceae, before I finally turn
the Mss. [Manuscript] of Tribe into your hands. [crossed out: You][added: will] it put 
you to too much trouble to procure it from Boston?
