          I presume it must be in many. I shall look for it soon again.

Sept. 18th. The hot weather & dust compelled me to stay at home 
as my health is better, I am not likely to visit Saratoga. And I have
an opportunity to send to Newburgh, & am putting up my cryptoga
mia in all haste for you, meaning to have them go to the Steam
Boat office N. Y. at the same time with this letter. I have made
already much progress in packing them: And tho' they must go out
of my hands today I expect to have them ready. As I got some
of them when I could only put them in papers without looking
at them, & as I am not familiar with some of them, I shall doubt
less make enquiries about some, which you have told me. I sent you
a [Moschalousopus?]? a while since. Is not it one of your [Phsigonandum?]
genus, I believe you [?] it for I can not find the name in
any book I have, & know not how many teeth are in the mouth of
[added: said] P. It looks like P. [trichotomum?], as you call it. Did I tell you
Rhus aromaticum [aromatica], Vaccinium stamineum, Solidago canadensis,
are here. I found in June a single Cynoglossum, which I never
saw before - I send some root - leaves, as I suppose, of the same,
& hope to get enough of it another season - it seems to be bin
nial. I have rcd. a letter from Mr. Prince, & have answered him - I can
not get many seeds this season. A few are inclosed with the plants for
him, which you will be so good as to hand over to him. Among them
are many of Aralia hispida, if you wish any of them, & several of
Lonicera hirsuta [?] villosa. If possible I shall get Orchiss [Orchis] dilitata
for him now.

I have only looked for Algae I find Conferva, & one
[crossed out: ?] Ulva, I suspect, on stones. But I have no eyes yet for these things. Besides,
our streams are all rapid, small, gravelly - no ponds, natural at all, & only two
artificial ones in five miles, & those do not cover half an acre each. To be sure,
running water is just as prolific, for aught I know - for I have not examined.
I feel much obliged by the crypt. sent me by you - but I want more Phenog.
especially, your Solidagos & Asters, & other ugly plants - & grasses & all others 
& thus you have it all. I [crossed out: am] [added: now] expect the other promised package.

Did I
send you the Grayeacke in the box? I [meant?] to have sent a few pieces
of iron ore with cylindric columns.

P.M. The plants are now packed,
& ready to start. You will find them at the Steam boat office. I
wish you would look at those with a query - & tell me all. Your friend

May I hear from you soon?
