          I do not yet believe them to be those of Schk.
I think that for C. conoidea, I have given abundant
reasons. The truth is that Muh. description of C. conoidea
answers very well for C. granularioides, except in
a point or two - & of C. titanica for the plant which
you & I both call his C. conoidea, my blanda. And
could I suppose he had changed labels, the matter would
be mainly explained. And this is made the more probable
by the fact that Wild. description of C. conoidea
agrees almost exactly with C. granularioides, while
Schk's. description of C. titanica agrees except in the
[?] with Muh. account of C. conoidea. The resemblance
of C. titanica & C. [ponicea?], shows in that
the former is not C. granularioides. You are obliged
to say that the fig. of conoidea does not agree you say
it carefully but this is the plain matter of fact  &
when you can show me a oblong-conic fruit, recurved
at the apex, as the one Muh. [meant?], I will give up.
The terms are on a contradiction - & impossible, unless
my notions of [carices?] are changed - & besides Muh.
says the fruit is [oval-trigenterous?] or obovate, recurved at
the apex, which is [emphatically?] true of his plant,
my blanda - & can not be oblong-conic of course 
but the fruit of C. granularioides is just oblong-conic,
but is not recurved. I can not therefore believe that
your description & that of Muh. fit the same plant 
I know, I could never [?] so but his fits his
plant exactly but it does not fit Schk's. C. conoidea,
while your description has a part of both.
Then under C. titanica, you have fruit ovate-oblong;
Schk. has obovate; you have [?] & oblique,
& Schk. has recurved at the apex; you have ovate [mucronate?]
[?], Schk. has obtuseovate, & you agree
that the fig. & desip. [description?] of Schk. & Muh. do not [fit?]
your plant. And I have no doubt, they do not
& can not. The authority of Mr. Collins is great,

How did you succeed in getting [?]
at Phila [Philadelphia] -  I hope you will [?]
your [apparatus?]. You must [pull?]
away at Uncle Sam's? knapsack
