 Dear Sir


 Sometime last June I rec'd
 from Dr Gray a Box of plants which was sent
 through the firm of Putnam & Co Booksellers & besides
 the packages for myself the Box contains one for 
 you & one for Mr Curtis-  Yours purport to be
 the Erigonia [?] of N. A.  {North America?] - I have had no opportunity
 to send the package to you & deferred telling you
 about under the impression that I should carry
 it in in my trunk last month - Concluding not 
 to visit the North this fall I will send it to 
 Mr. Putman by the first vessel probably by the
 Athalia now in Port -


 I have nothing new Botanically and remain 
 Your sincere friend
 A. W. Chapman
