 My Dear Sir,


 I advertised you a fortnight since by Dr.
 Gray, that i should write you in a short time, & send a 
 box of plants to your name. The parcel is completed, &
 comprises portions for Hooker, Gray, & yourself. As I have
 lately supplied you with the elite [underlined: elite] of my summer's collection,
 I have nothing of moment for you. I have sent
 you a dozen or fifteen species, more to look at than
 for anything else. A part of them, of which I have not
 duplicates, you will find marked to be returned. I
 have frequently sent you plants which I hardly supposed
 you wanted, that you might know where they [underlined: that you might know where they]
 grew [underlined: grew]. As you are to publish a Flora, I supposed localities
 were desirable as well as plants. Among the 
 present plants are two (?) species of Psilocarya. I have
 put them in my Catalogue as P. sirpoides [scirpoides?] & rhynchosporoides [rhynchosporoides?], 
 but I am not satisfied fully about
 them. You have had these plants before.


 My corrections & additions for my Catalogue
 have been sent to Boston. Some useless
 matter has been cut out. I have given that
 Amorpha a name and description. Having lately
 examined [added: it] anew, & compared it with our other species,
 I believe it is specifically distinct, & easily recognised [recognized].
 I have called it A. cyanostachya [pycnostachya?]. You call
 the vexil. purple [underlined: purple], but I call it blue decidedly, excepting
 perhaps the summit.
