          I rcvd. the Carices by our friend [Casey?] some
weeks ago, & was glad to get it. I have fared
very well in it, & have much gladness that he
sees only varieties in some of those I have named,
as these varieties are as well marked as species.
In one respect, I think he has, unintentionally
done a wrong to you & me in several species,
which each of us has corrected, & seen the right,
& to refer to the old & wrong names, & not the
corrected ones, implies that we are still wrong,
till he corrects us. I know he meant no injury,
but that does not lessen the amount of it, & hereafter,
some botanists may consider that we never saw
right.

I hope you will get some copies of the State
of Geology. You ought to have had five copies
[each?].

Please to hand the inclosed to Dr. Clark.

I [?] saw Dr. Bradley of [?], & found among
his Carices, C. Richardsoni, which he had collected
in the woods near him, so that this
plant belongs to this State also. I have
a new one too from Florida.

If Crawii is not distinct from the other,
Mr. [Ceary?] ought to have given the name you
gave,. & not that of C. Crawii.

Truly Yours, C. Dewey

I shall ask my friend, Mr. [Jags?] to call on you for anything.
