          as the proposed - & not intend to regard a [?]
[time?] except by one who is at the meeting.  I am sorry
you did not answer his letter, if it was civil.

Mr. Nuttall most have been very successful in
his [?]. I hope you will get opinions for me
as I want them much, & shall be much obliged.

I have not found [Maypon's?] Illustrations - but give
no trouble about the book - yet if you find it, I should
like to know the price.

=Ruby copper ore!!!! Is it possible?

Dr. [Mead?] I shall be very happy to see.  I have not
yet heard from him - but I hope he will give me
a call.  I shall be polite to him , if I can? You
can not get much more Gibbsire, "I beg your pardon, Hydrogythite,"
for it is not found.  I must go, & have that
mine opened, & find some if possible.

I have not seen [Jessup's?] paper - hope to soon.

You send me a plant named Myrica gale long ago,
but what it is I can not tell - has no resemblance to Myrica.
I shall send a piece, if I can, for you to see.

The seeds of [Eriophorum ang..?] are not the shape
stated by [Ph?] but obovate, 3-sided, uniform at the base.
At least I can find no other. I have labored hard to
get Cymbidium [hy..?] but I can not find it in
flower - & all the old [?] are dead.  By the way, it never
has but one root [?].  This is marked by all that see
it.  I raised a flower last year in my garden - but this year
nothing appears, but the leaves have dried up & disappeared.

I shall be glad to see the papers you mention in your
N. York journal.
