          I am going to a new locality of
C. alba, & C. irrgularis, Schw. as I
well know for I have them from the
[?], I hope to look up a few more.
C. starita I have hold of. I wrote
you a few days ago & I [?]
not say how I long to meet you
& behold your fair phiz - & to
overlook with you the beloved
tribes of Carices. I shall be
greatly disappointed if I can
not now see you - you
little know what I shall
have reason to regret - not to say
how much.

Do be careful as to direct your
letter that it can not be forwarded
to my College & tell me the
bare facts in the case & with
much esteme as ever your friend
