I hope you will finish your other
Vol. of the Bot. of N. America, as
well as your Cyperacace.
The work is great, but good in this

Dr. Gray is working well. I
hope he will [?] in his [plans?],
It seems to me that he is a noble
Botanist. When he sent me
his Carices first, I wondered at
his judgement, & told him so,
but he had some better help
than you or I had for a long
time. I want to come to
your Carices again, but

to send or loan me what you
have now. I shall return
right back to you in three
weeks, so I must go to soon to
the west.

I hope to

the Med. School. I may
not, if I [?]; but I hope to
do both.
