          Baptisia leucantha abundant along the banks of the larger rivers. I have
 another species of this Genus just intermediate between B. lanceolata & 
 B. alba with yellow flowers & it may [?prove] a hybrid & I also found
 near Marianna a plant exactly B. alba except that it had yellow
 flowers and pubescent stems and leaves - If I think of it when I start
 for the north I will carry on all of these doubtful things for your
 inspection.


 I can do nothing with the numbers of the Flora in my
 possession  The times are so out of joint that our people care for
 little else than the privilege of breathing - I suppose I account
 for the two copies sold to Wyly [?Wylie] & Putnam.  The others as requested 
 by Dr. Gray I return.


 I believe I have told you all connected with myself
 in the Botanical line - So you are quietly settled down in the
 Country enjoying yourself with "opium cum Digitali"


 To
 Dr. Torrey


 I remain as ever
 Sincerely Yours
 A. W. Chapman
