Dear Sir,

I sent your letter & a package
of Carices for you & Dr. Gray,
last week on Tuesday. The letter gives
you some marks [remarks?] on the Northern Carices.

I am much obliged by
the new one from Dr. Gray,
for new it is, beyond doubt. I shall
report it, after he has done it.

I want two of your Northern
Carices especially, if you will
spare them, as you will, to me!!!
C. [suipoidea?] Mx. I want a pistilate
ripe one. Will you see if any
have those stigmas; some have
two I know. This is Mx'. plant,
but is it Hornemann's, you have
several of them.

C. aristata [crossed out: ?] [added: No.] 403 & 428. You
have two [species/specimens?]. I need one.
Send both by Mail.

Dr. Gray did not tell me where his
new Carex is found, what place in
your state? By the way, if you have any other Carices
from the Western World, pray let me
