My Dear Sir,

The last of Hooker's Carices will
be in the next No. of Silliman. Also you[r?]
two new species from Kenturcky, are beautifully
figd. & will [?]. I had them
splendidly drawn by a lady - &, I
hope they will appear well. I can
not give the magnified parts, [even?]
all those have been troublous to
get along with. Sill. has been at expense
enough on the thing.

I have
a few corrections to make, in another
number. C. oligospora from Kentucky
is the one figd. by Schk., while we
have the one in Muh. Herb. It is
clear that he changed the plant as
he went on. C. concinna R. Br. is
C. ornithopoda. My var. of C. trichocarpa
is C. aristata R. Br. A few
other things are to be attended to. I want
more of the Kentucky sp. Will you
send me by the [?]. Mr. Mosely?
I wish them now. For, I have done
here, & am to remove to Rochester,
in your state, soon!! So it is. I go to
manage their City High School. Their
mother is settled, & I can not see you
this spring.

That carex from the
south is unlike what I know. I

[left margin]
I fear C. [Centisana?] is
too near C. [arinita?], as
we examine it.
