Dear Sir, was greatly obliged by your letter,
& glad for several things. I hope yet to get that
parcel, & as I need it only for a short time,
will soon return it. But, how I am to get it,
I do not know, as the river is frozen, & our
friends rarely go to N. York at this season.

I am glad to hear from Mx' Herbarium.
I have great confidence in your comparison, for
you have all needed advantage. Perhaps, it would
be well to append them to my paper, unless you
wish to do such a thing by itself. Perhaps I
shall do it, on the last page, & get you to append
it to the other paper. By the way, I do
not wish that paper I sent to the Lyceum to be
published, at [least?] I wish to give it with the
other things in Sill. Journal.

I will send Dr. Gray, all the C. Davisii, I
have. I fear not so many as he asks, perhaps I
can get some of Emmons, unless he has get [got?] from
him.

That [matter?] of Salix by Barratt is great. I
hope he will get it all sent out. I supposed there
must be a host of willows. I did not think so many as
80.

I should be glad to get of you those figs.
& descripts. of Carices from [?] America. I wish
you would send them to me, if they are not too
voluminous, by mail. If they are, I must [wait?] & get
them by the first Boat.
