          West-Chester, Pa [Pennsylvania] April 21. 1853.

Dear Sir,

I left a copy of the
new edition of the Flora Cestrica
with Adams's Express, to be forwarded
to you, yesterday. It is not sent
for any thing it contains, which
can interest you; but simply as
a poor token of my regard, and
grateful remembrance of the
many favors received at your hands.
I trust it will have reached you,
ere this note arrives.

I received, a day or two since,
a package of seeds, collected during
the Mexican Boundary Survey, by
Mr. Parry. I have put them in such
hands as I hope will make the most
of them vegetate. If Mr. Parry is in
New York, please make my grateful
acknowledgments to him.

I am waiting, patiently, but with
much interest, for the copies of the memoir 
& plate of the new Darlingtonia.
If sent (when ready) by Express to Mr. John
Penington, Bookseller, South 5th St. Philada [Philadelphia],
he
