 [Francis] Boott says "[Edward] Tuckerman tells me
 that [Moses Ashley] Curtis has found C. Torreyi [Carex torreyi] in [Elias] Durand's 
 Herb. [Herbarium] in Phil'a [Philadelphia] sent to Mr. D. by Torrey
 as C. pallescens [Carex pallescens] ! but there is no
 habitat. It may be one of the Arctic
 specimens, but I should think not. Pray
 enquire about it. Curtis wrote to [Asa] Gray."
 x x x My love to Torrey. I wish he would
 spare me a bit of C. Geyeri [Carex geyeri] which you 
 say is among [Charles] Wilkes' plants."--


 I suspect that you did, in fact,
 distribute your Arctic specimens of
 C. Torreyi (believing them to be C. pall. [Carex pallescens])
 because both Hook. [William Jackson Hooker] and Durand appear
 to have rec'd them from you, & there
 are none in your own Herb. [Herbarium] except
 a miserable bit from Tuckerman.


 I want the following Jersey Plants,
 which please lay by for me, as they
 turn up--


 Amaranthus pumilus
 Gentiana angustifolia
 Amianthium leimanthoides [synonym of Stenanthium densum] A. Gr. [Asa Gray]


 I did not know that Gray was reviewing
 the Malvaceae, but am glad to hear it, as
 there is much to [post?] up in that order.
