Pittsfield Sept. 7. 1838.

Dear Sir,

A good whille ago, you offered to
send me a copy of your Cyperaceae. I
should be glad of it, if you have a spare
copy. My friend Dr. Root will receive
it, and bring it to me. I return I will
send you a copy of the Statistics etc. etc.
of Rochester.

I hoped ere this to see you.
I wish greatly to look over all
your Carices. It must now be
a grand collection.

Your Obdt. Friend.

C. Dewey

Prof. John Torrey M. D.

I believe Dr. Root, now on a visit to N York,
is known to you. If not, let this be
the introduction to your acquaintance of
an excellent man & physician.
