          Is Hypericum [ascyroides?] ever much branched? 
or, has H. pyramidatum , large flowers?

I shall be happy to send Mr. [Prince?] any specimens 
in my power, as well as my humble
thanks for his favors. It may seem strange to you to
tell you what I want before I see what you have sent
but I hope we are friends enough to make known our
wants, tho' we have not ability to supply them. So I will
mention the rare varieties of [Bonytis?] & Stontium - phosphate 
of lime - cubic crystals of [?] of lime & the argillaceous 
[?]  [Plaster?] stone  [Bolite?] Bitumin 
[ons?] [cort.?] of lime  Brown spar  indurated [marl?]  etc.
Topaz Pitchstone - etc. Should duplicates of any of
those fall in your way, I should like to be remembered.
I intend to send to the Lyceum a large [?] of
the [fetid?] [cont.?] of lime, as soon as I can visit the
locality. I have sent you more specimens in
the box - for it has all been distributed.

I send a grass inclosed - is it Trichodium
scabrum? I do not find but one [leaf?] to the
corol. I hate these grasses - I had rather see
those of the Carices than one of these.[?]

An opportunity now arrives to send to Albany 
& I shall forward this - as you will get it some
[?]. Will you write me very soon, I [believe?]
[?], with much respect, your friend
