          On your Rubellite, I have
no further remarks. I intend
to examine it. But I do not
know enough probably, to put
the highest confidence in the
Theory of crystallization.

You say Cyperus [poaeformis?]
is like C. flavescens.
Do you not mean C. strigosus,
which does indeed resemble
that, but I thought it differed.

You sent me Poa obtusa,
but I had named that
the same, as the [monst?] I
could find in Muhl., & sent
it with the full conviction
that it differed much from the
one you sent - but I could
not tell it.

On Oryzopsis
you throw more doubt
than I had already. I have
often thought that O. melanocarpa
did not agree with the genus - 
But I thought Muh., was not to
be questioned openly.

The Agrostis diffusa, I named
after a specimen you sent me.
It seemed very like it, but I had
often thought it might be it.
mexicana, or filiformis. But
now I must look again.

I can not now look at my
plants, because my letter must
go immediately. But I hope
you will continue your
remarks & thus help me.

I did not mean to say that
I should give up Botany
