          I think I have another new sp. from this State. I
sent you the description of C. Crawei.

It seems to me that C. Franklinii Boott is too
near C. ovata. C adusta Boot is C. tenera D. & C.
[?] Boott is C. nardina, fries, as Dr. Boott says, &
was in the Carices sent you by Hooker, as also C. Lyonii. B,
if I will remember.

Some two or three, you sent
me, I intend to write you particularly about, & to
give you the descriptions. I have been greatly interested
in your parcel, & am much obliged by the
privilege of looking at it. I wish to see your Herb.
of Carices, &, as I hear you are to remove to N. Y.,
I may be able to see it, if life is privleged another year.
Rather pressed with matters I write you a hasty line,
and am,

Sincerely Yours

C. Dewey
