          for which you asked. All I could not send you, for
I could not get them, but I have sent nearly all, except
cryptogamia. I shall hardly send them now. I have
sent Carices in abundance. Those you wished are with
your other plants. And then in a separate parcel, the
other Carices found here, making up the whole - except
C. tentaculata, C. pseudocyperis, C. hystericina, & one
or two more perhaps, which are too well determined & too
common to require sending. I have just got a new one,
[?] like the former C. flava as I called it but I am
wholly at a loss about it, tho' I suspect you will find
some name on it. What I call C. oligocarpa is wholly
difft. from any I have sent or [seen?]  smooth fruit & little
of it  answers generally to [Muh?]. dis.  grows in dry soil, on
a hill I think, & is new to me certainly.  I want you to
look at all carefully. I am not certain but C. [vistila?] is
among C. varia - & another new one with C. scoparia.
Tho' you judged otherwise, there is great diff. in those supposed 
[added: [three?]] varieties of C. scoparia. That supposed C. [?]
can not be in Marsh.  Do send me a little sympathetic
wish. I am glad to be able to expect a box
from you let it come, for I want something to give
me a start again. It is lonely work here all alone 
not [even?] [one?] to [?] occasionally.  I send you the Salices 
in fine state, and all I have. I am obliged to give
up S. cordata. The diff. between it & S. rigida in Persoon is that
S. rigida has villose petioles, & leaves sub-cordate. Now [on?]
the same [tree?], & on the young twigs, fully cordate  & the petioles
villous down to nearly glacous. And as they are both [?]
to Pennsyl. I can not but suspect them as [one?]. In Eaton
