          up a few plants also, of which he had no duplicates, and these
 (if he sent any) you will please also put up with mine. If any
 of these plants are desired by you, Prof [Professor] S [Short] & myself can, most
 likely, procure them for you. Any foreign, or other, plants you
 may be pleased to send me, may be put in the package with
 the others; as may also plants that you put up for Prof [Professor]
 C. W. Short. In order to make but one package of the
 whole, & that we may with the more certainly get them,
 please to direct the package to Prof [Professor] Short, care of E. U.
 Berryman, Lexington Ky. [Kentucky]. My brother will forward them in his
 dry goods.

 Next season I will make it a point to collect
 many plants for you, as I am anxious to get the Foreign
 plants you wrote to me of.

 I wish you would critically examine the two or
 three plants I send you, apparently, new: particularly that
 would-be-Geum, Anemone lexingtoniensis, & the Tetrondrous & [crossed out: ?]
 Tetradynamous plants.

 I left the package of plants with a young
 man of Renssalaer School, who will next week send
 them to my brother's store; and when he receives them he
 will leave them at Carville's or Chilton's.

 When your time allows, please to write me about 
 the plants I send you.

 I remain, Dear Sir, very respectfully
 your sincere friend
