Rochester May 14. 1840

My Dear Sir,

I send you some plants. I
would send more, if I had ought you can
need. I see your Cat. of plants is out
in the Geol. Rep. You have altered
somethings wisely & well, in the Caricog,
& might alter one or two more.

I do not believe about that C. ampullacea.
You have C. vesicaria & C. ampullacea,
I presume, from England. If you
have, you see they are precisely what
Schk. makes them, & just what I make
them. It seems to me, there can be no
mistake.

I have just heard that my Report
on the herbaceous plants of Mass.
was in the press some 8, or 10 days
ago.

That plant in the yard
of my neighbor is finely
up, & will give flowers
enough. I hope to get them
for you.

But I am now too late
to write. On the letter you
will see where you can send some Carices
for me. Do not fail.

Can not you send me [?]
for those [weeks?]?

Yours as ever

C. Dewey

My brother in Law, H. A. Brewster
will bring all safe. On the outside
you will see where he is.
