          it this Spring as a new Genus. I will adopt his suggestion
 in regard to it and call it najoides [underlined: najoides]. I do not like Nuttall
 well enough to give it to him. Please to inform Dr. Gray
 of this, as I have not time at present to write to him.


 The Liatus which I sent you from Yellow Mt. (I
 roget the name I gave it), which in a subsequent note
 accompanying the Box for Hooker I suggested was the
 L. scariosa, var. confertiflora, Ell, I think I saw in Herb:
 Ell. subnom (subnom?): L. sphaeroidea [sphaeroidea?]. But my notes are not by
 me, & I cannot speak with certainty. If this be the fact,
 it may be his confertiflora after all, for he did not
 change his labels in a great many instances.


 I am at present in a scene of toil and labor. From
 sunrise till ten o'clock at night I cannot call any 
 of the time my own. I have no time to think of 
 Botany, everything now making way for Latin
 & Greek. I am in an Institution similar to Muhlenberg [Muhlenberg's?]
 at Flushing, & for want of more Teachers am closely confined
 by constant duty. I shall not continue here
 longer than June at the present rate of labor. No man
 can live under it for a long time. I have hardly time
 to write a letter.


 The specimens of Pinus in the Box for Hooker were
 P. mitis, P. taeda, P. serotina, & P. palustris, besides a
 P. pungens. -- In the box for you, previously sent, were
 two [underlined: two] cones of P. pungens, one of which was for Gray [underlined: for Gray].
 The leaves [underlined: leaves] were in a parcel directed to him.


 The plants in the parcel for Hooker, I want you to 
 put new labels [underlined: labels] to, when they are wrong. -- I shall wait
 impatiently for the remaining observations on my plants.
 You ahve a good many of my plants sent long ago, [added: upon] which
 you have given no opinion yet. I shall give you a list
