 Dear Sir,


 I did not expect another letter so full 
 of matter in relation to plants sent you. I suppo-
ed you had sent before all you could well attend
 to or thought specially worthy of attention, except the
 Carices etc. I am however much obliged to you, & if
 plants will be any reward, I shu [should] be happy to re
 pay you. Unless I made some mistake in number-
ing, you called Cinna, a plant from Con., which I thought
 might be an Andropogon, & much resembles the An-
dropogon? I sent from this place. I am yet at a loss
 about the Phalaris, but hope to find it by & by. I sent
 no [?] unless we have mistaken Conium mau
 lotum [maculatum?] for it. Lonicera [Eatoni?], (which I heard to be thus named
 in N.Y.) is L. hirsuta. I told Mr. Eaton last summer that
 our Andropogeon nutans must be A. purpurasens [purpurascens], but he said
 not, & & [?] to N.Y.  So I supposed myself [down?] of course.
 I have collected several of the plants your mention for
 you, & can get nearly all of them. Ranunculus [agnost-
ilis?], I have only one specimen. Probably I can get
 some - but I must got to Con. River. Monarda
 allophylla does not grow here. I know of only
 one tree of what I called Salix ambigua - that is now
 killed - I have somewhere seen another tree in this
 place, but can not tell where - hope to find it 
 in my rambles. I have just found Carex [stip-
ilis?], or some one equally anomolous. Thus I shall
 forward without delay. I [?] sent C. varia
