 Dear Sir,


 A private opportunity offering, I 
 take advantage of it to acknowledge your late
 favors & the high gratification they afforded. The one
 by mail, & that by Mr [Mr.] Terry, & also one previous to
 there, via Wilmington, are at hand. -- While at
 Wilmington I addressed you a letter giving information 
 of a box of plants which I then sent to
 you. I hope they have reached you ere this in
 good condition.


 I returned to this place on Jan. 9th, & have just 
 returned from Lincolnton, where I preached last
 Sabbath. While there I had an opportunity of examining
 my notes on plants, & I sent you my remarks
 upon Carex (m), which you desire to know
 more about. I had not been able to make it out.
 Carex ____ __ (a) Stig: 2 ___ (b) Spikes distinct. ____ (c) Terminal
 spike androg: the others fem: or partly androg:
