          you will confer a great favor & as soon as
 you receive any returns please direct them
 to me at this place. Have you examined
 the plants collected by me in Florida &
 are there any undescribed species among
 them? You agreed to describe all that
 were new to you & undescribed in partnership
 with me. Would it be to [too] much to ask
 you to write out & publish descriptions of such
 either in due course of the publication of
 the Flora or in Silliman's Journal? How
 did Dr. Gray succeed in his excursion
 after seeds & roots last fall & what parts
 did he visit? The collection which I 
 made in Florida is so limited & the
 specimens rather badly preserved that I
 have not made out sets for sale but
 am ready to exchange them for the
 rarer productions of our own country. Please
 answer this soon.


 Yours truly
 Saml [Samuel] B. Buckley
