          or will it be "in order" to allude to that?  If
 I should find no account of it, & conclude to give
 it as a distinct species, I had thought of calling it

 I hope you will give me your opinion and views
 freely, & as early as your convenience will permit.


    Some ten days ago, I left two packages
 for Dr. Gray, with Mr. Shaw of Philadelphia who
 said he was going to New York the next day,
 & would forward them.  One was a collection of
 plants made for him by one of our young [illegible]
 here - & the other contained [illegible & illegible}.
 I am desirous to hear of their safe arrival -
 especially the books; for the loan of which I am
 greatly indebted to him. - I suppose the Doctor
 is very closely occupied in making his arrangements
 for the Exploring Voyage.  I am sorry to see evidence
 of jealousy & unpleasant feeling among the Naval
 officers, about that expedition. I hope there may
 be nothing of it among the naturalists. [of the expedition is crossed out]
 I understand another number of the 
 Annals of the Lyceum, containing your [illegible],
 was to be out before this time.  Is it yet published?
 If so, I should be glad to have it sent to Mr.
 Dobson, for me.  Have you yet approached to any
 thing like certainty, as to when your Flora will
 go to press?  I am afraid if you wait until 
 the whole work is ready, I shall never live to
 see it.  It appears to me, that the arrangement
 according to the Natural orders if very well suited
 to be published in numbers (like [B.. labiatae?]);
