          make a volume, I should have them bound
 separate. Of course, my enquiry proceeds
 upon the assumption that you have copies
 enough to admit of my taking one at the
 price you pay - otherwise, I shall get
 one elsewhere. I am glad you published
 the Poa as a fr.[?] sp. [species] which I doubt not
 that it is. I wrote Olney [Stephen Thayer Olney] accordingly. 
 I am very unhappy about my poor
 brother Sam [Samuel Thomas Carey]. He has continually
 (slight) oozings of blood from the bronchial
 vessels, & I greatly fear that the 
 coming winter will be very trying to
 him. With 4 young Child'n [Children] his life is
 now very valuable, in all respects. 
 I have heard nothing from Gray [Asa Gray], for a
 fortnight. I suspect he is taking a room
 somewhere. I hope it may be so, as
 he sits too close to the desk, & his health
 suffers, in consequence. I beg my kind
 respects to Mrs. T.


 I am, My dear Doctor,
 very sincerely yrs,
 Jno [John] Carey
