          During the past summer, some of the more
 zealous & industrious of our young Botanists have
 detected a number of plants in this region,
 which I did not know of when I printed my
 catalogue.  The report published last spring, by our
 cabinet, (of which you have a copy) contains a list
 of 38 plants detected in the county since the pub-
 lication of the catalogue: and since that report
 was published, the following have added
 to our [Chapter]? County Flora - viz. Rynchosphora alba,
 Potamogeton gramminum, Onosmodium hispidus, Echium 
 vulgare, Lysimachia hybrida, [Sison ?], 
 Celtis occidentalis, Rhus typhina, Allium tricoccum,
 Juncus echinocephalus, [Helonias ery?], [Vacci..?]
 Kalmia angustifolia, Magnolia glauca, 
 Hydrastis canadensis, [Polyan..unidatia?], Podostemum
 ceratophyllum, Tripsacum dactyloides, Myriophyllum
 callitrichoides, and Udora canadensis - being 20 in
 number.  Imperfect specimens of a species of [Crocus?]
 were also brought to me, which I believe will prove
 to be that part of the [Farmers?] in the north - the
 [Crocus arvensis?].  Localities have also been found
 containing abundence of certain plants supposed 
 to be very rare when my catalogue was printed -
 such as Eriophorum angustifolium, Buchera americana,
 Orchis ciliaris - Triphora pendula, etc.
     I have now, I believe mentioned all the
 botanical news I have for you; and should be
 happy to hear some from you, when your engage-
 ments will permit.  Very sincerely your friend
                                      and obdt. servt.
