          but I recollect you once told me that half his Carices
were labelld [labeled?] with a query? As you know what is
Muh. titanica, at least, in his Herb. _ it is most clear
to me that he made some changes, within in his
book, or in his Herb., or [?] Schk. had some other
plant to draw from.

I want you to tell me
my mistake in quoting Muh. Herb. I want to correct it 
& I can not find it. I shall be greatly obliged by your Pointing
it out to me.

I hope not to make strange [?] 
it seems stranger to you for me to call C. conoidea Muh
difft. from C. conoidea Schk. - strange to me to hear
you call them the same. I mean to be on my guard 
but strange or not, I shall utter my judgement. I
well recollect, that the specimens in Schw. Herb. [from?]
Muh. labelled C. conoidea, agreed not at all with the
fig. of Schk. And it is strange to me to hear you call
Muh. descriptions imperfect - a work, not perfect,
but [announced?] long, I think, before his death.
Now, I write those opinions in entire friendship - strong
as they may sound - for I well know, I have no
more right to my judgement than you to yours & while I
shall hold to my opinions till convinced of the contrary, I shall allow
my friend to do the same.

You are out, only upon it, on
C. digitalis  but I will wait patiently for the [result?]

Now I am not sorry you or I wrote on this I do not
regret it at least, on my own account. It is not likely we [shall?]
ever interfere again on Botany but [?] [?] on [?]
he is preparing a work, I shall not forbear. And, I had a
[?] letter from you upon my [?] proper before
Schw. [?]. made any difficulty & my [plan?] was
pretty clear & Caricography is a term only too general,
instead of simple & particular as it [implies?] the whole
genus & I regret I had not earlier limited it. I want to
come & see your carices - & it is not impossible I may be
at the Point in May. I want to shake you by the hand
too & show you that a [?] of grass may not reach the
[best?] [?] & besides all, to see your wife etc. I thank
you for the offer of potassium, if you find it You will
find that [?] for making it [?] perfectly will, if
some inches of the bowl be gone I know this, for I
saw it.

[left margin]
I wish to know what is C. striata, stolonifera, acuminata, lexiculmis, all of Schw.
An. Tab. are in your [view?]. I know all the rest - I wish you would tell me of what you
call these varieties. I will send you all the Carices you want & ask for - soon as I
can attend to it I will put them up - you shall have them.
Do not forget about
those species of Schw. for I want to get out all his table. I saw all of them I believe, but I
have forgotten them _ except one, as I think. You wrote once that you had some [?] Carices for me _ Do send them, & put in all your [?] ones. What do you call C. [lunosa?] of Schw. [?]
Just tell me all of this, very soon if you can, & oblige your friend C. Dewey
