Dear Sir

Rev. Samuel Matthews, the bearer
hereof, will hand you a few plants which I 
have found some difficulty in determining.
I had prepared a collection of plants, which I 
intended to have forwarded by the Brig "Tallahassee
but was unable to get them at St. Marks in season.
The numbers on the labels will correspond to those
which I now have labelled & numbered in the same
manner -

I will endeavour to have the collection sent 
on by the next vessl that arrives at St. Marks - 
It will comprise, in all, between three & four hundred
species, with several specimens of each, especially 
those which you particularly requested in your letter.
In the present parcel, I send only those which are
to me rare, or which I have been unable to determne
- I meet with such every day 
No. 59 - I found this on the road between Tall. & Quincy 
along the borders of swamps & Ponds in the pine barrens.
I know not even its genus & I have now forgotten to 
which order it belongs. Interior leaves of the Calix squarossa
No. 28   I have considered this a Galactia - the specimens exhibit
the   [?size] of the plant - most of the flowers are abortive
not climing [?climbing] - Hab. Pine Barrens
