Dear sir,

Since I wrote you, I have had
no opportunity to send for the books or
to get the barrels to you. I can now
send you a line, but it is so far
over land to N. Haven that I can
not ask for the barrels to go,
but the River will soon be
open, and I our muskrats will be
going, & I can get them to you.
There it must be left. I get no
Carices yet from Dr. Emmons
for Dr. gray, & it will do no
good to send the few I have,
unless I can get more.

The more I look at those
[Russian?] Carices, the more I
feel that Mayer has split up
species at a great rate, & made
much of one. Can it be that
C. longirostrata is so near yours,
& yet different? I [?]
