          I have stripped myself of your brown [?] [?]
I could get none of your. Your white [?]

I am glad your book is to go to the fress soon - yet
of there were not such a rage for botany, you had better
have delayed for three years. Barton's Flora I have not 
seen. Your [?] character of Panicum will be bad
enough for most Botanists - I  hope you will make
all other parts [?] enough to distinguish. It is obvious
that the more difficult the [?] are to be [?], the
worse the description is, unless necessity compel the [?]
of the [?] character. The [peonies?] will be brown [?]
[?]. I speak sok, [?] for botanists [?]
[?] was an abortive hour[?].

I shall try to get you into the N.G.Lin Soc. Webster
is [?] & I will write him - but I will not promise
that my influence will do any thing, tho' I ham a member.
I wrote about Hedyotis as I did, however I did
not know any thing about [?] 
days [?] at what I went you for H. [pauciflora?]
[?] they were not alike to the [?] but I have
confounded things, for I sent [Hed?] to [Sprengel], he
says, but it must have been [?]
as I suppose, for I have never knows Hed. til lately.

Just tell me how Burgelis [?] Doug's [?], if 
you look at the Journal de phys.

[?]

Can you send two sp.[ecimens?] of Aristolochia [?].

I can not go all the way with the Huttonians, & not
with Playfair, I know. But the proofs of the igneous origin
of Trap, are mainly complete, is seems to me. How odd it
is that [?] in this country, & that so few
on [?] in Eng., & Scotland - but the [?]
is not always right, tho' they may be in this country.

Are Najas canadenses & [?] not synonymous?

Your friend C. Dewey

Dr. J. Torrey

Bortromia grandiflora & B. [Ledwin?] or for  [?] as [?] to me. What I have called
[tryzopsis?] melonororpa is [shortly?] [?] plants, or I think, & you will. m[melonoropum?], as
I suppose your, your name is better than Smith's, but his are a name & two synonyms. So
it goes, & by & by Botany will be [holy?] [names?]. I have begun the box for you,
& shall complete as I can, in it will be a few plants for Agh. [Agradh?] which I must consign
to your care. But I can not with French, & must send him a little Latin. Emmons
writes that he has [?] from you & not again.
