 giving it to us in that [mode?].  I think you
 would find many advantages in it; & the Botanical
 public would be highly gratified to be receiving
 the treat, of a number, every few months.
 I am so impatient to see a comprehensive
 American Flora, which may be relied upon,
 that I cannot bear the idea of waiting much
 longer; so I hope you will let us have it
 in one form, or other, without much further delay.
    My own little affair I hope to get through
 with about the first of April next, if no un-
 toward accident should intervene.


                        In haste, dear Sir,


                       Yours very truly,
