          I have no minerals of any use to you- I have no [?]
and of [?]. I have been about some - but got only old [?].
I have put up a few, very few, for I know not that you
want any old ones. I hope to get some, by & by, & intend [?]
this, to go to the Chesterfield Granite. I hope to repay you
yet. I have put up a few dried Fungi in the bottom of the 
box, with the minuerals. Fungi are numbered with the other 
plants. But I can not fill the box for this stage - & I shall 
forward this letter to tell you the box will [?] the
next stage.

I found on Saddle Mt. Carex  saxatilis, as I call it - 
always to stigmas. I have put it up for you.

I wish to go after Cynoglossum [?] but
I can not find time to get a few miles from home.

I have various other things to say - 
but it seems necessary to close this
letter fort he mail - & I shall write
a [?] & put it in the box.
