          C. attenuata R. Brown, when I alluded
to C. affinis, as the same, I mistook. I meant
C. attenuata, as the same with C. polytrichoides.
A few of the better [ones?] in that [?] from
Hooker. but I did not then think of their
being C. attenuata. Now, I know they are
[?] only varieties of C. polytrichoides.

That [?] is difft. from all we have.
When you will get hold of the real C. oligocarpa,
that you had from Kentucky, & see
how unlike this is from what we call
C. oligocarpa, you will be satisfied,
I think.  Do send me a specimen of
C. attenuata, or of that C. [polytrichides?]
from Arctic Regions, I returned
to you. I wish I had taken one or
two, [?] [?] 20.

I want that
C. Floridana from N. Orleans two.

Mr. S. Mosely will soon come back.
You will find him at Comstock & Andrews No. 55
[in a bracket with above: Liberty H.]
He will bring a small package in
his trunk. I wish to lay hold of
all now, at once.

I have wonderful health since I gave
up tobacco, [grow?] too fat, may
be sick by [Thuy?].

Do not [?] me now. 
High regards to friend Gray.

Your friend

C. Dewey
