Dear Sir,

I recd. [received] the copy of your
Cyperaceae, & give you many thanks.
In most things it is excellent. I think
you have mistaken two or three Carices, 
which you will see one day
as I think. Occasionally you are a little
tort in accounting for some of my conclusions,
tho' the reasons have generally
been well given, & were such as the
knowledge there obtained or published required.
I hope to be able to see your 
Carices yet, & tell you the views I
have. I supposed Dr.
Gray had gone to the S. [South] Pole, am
glad to hear of his association
with you, & to see that your 
Botany is begun, and will go on.
I intend to get two subscribers here for
you for that work. I want the part that
is out, & will gladly pay for it, to help
on this work by my [write?].

Cannot you send a specimen of some 
of your later Carices. Do look at the collection, 
& give me what I need. 
C. alata [Carex alata], jamesii [Carex jamesii], scouleri [Carex scouleri], complanata [Carex complanata],
oxylepis [Carex oxylepis], turgescens [Carex turgescens], microdonta [Carex microdonta].
Any of these, a desideratum, & all of then
a great addition. Please to [crossed out: ? [own?] for
