          I wrote you about a Carex , on which I need your
answer for I suspect mine is not C. longirostris 
& I want to announce it for it is a great beauty.
I shall wait a little before I close this letter,
tho' I have said not half I meant to - yet stop
I must & will, with all the good wishes
for you & high [respect?] you can desire from
C. D.
