Dr. Torrey

My Dear Sir,

I sent you my Introductory &
a letter. I fear you have neither as you do
not answer me. I asked about a carex
or two, will you be so good as to let me
hear soon.

I inclose a spike of the [Madrina?]
vine, a Bermuda Vine. I have no means
of ascertaining the name. If you know
it, will you add the [letter/latter?] to that
name.

As I sent you two sp. of Euonymus,
long ago, you gave me the names. One
was E. atropurpureus, I know, tho' it did
not well agree. The other agrees not
with E. americanus or obovatus, & you
gave it not Euonymus, but I have
mislaid your letter is there any other
genus so near Euonymus as to be
mistaken for it by me. This [?]
[?] cold. print, & is called strawberry
tree, the other is called Burning
bush. The last is right, but I can
not [learn?] the other, which is two feet
high. I [would?] I could see you.

Truly Yours,

C. Dewey
