          & saw him not half as much as I wished,
I only regret I did not stay longer, & get a
longer time with him.

I am sorry C. Stylosa
has gone from your Herb. & some others. It is good
to see C. lagopinia so clear from C. [leparina?] L. The
last I see has my label as I [?] them to you,
long ago.

I [heard?] from friend Casey that
he has written the Carices for Dr. Gray's work, &
that I am to be sent up, but I shall live as long
as I can see any [?], as the man said. I know
he is [?], & wise too. I have lately had two long
letters from him, & the last was full & good on
his views.

I see you are full of work on
[Bot?]. of all regions, so let it be.

I was amused at your letter & am [?] from Dr.
Gray, both written in 1845, good to get them
now, but, I shall write Gray & have some
[?] [?] his [?] its [?].

I wish much to see your whole collection of
Carices, & have [hoped?] something would lead
me to Princeton.

That Euonymous is
not E. americanus, & I do not see how it is E. obovatus.
You called the plant by the name of
some other genus. E. atropurpureus is clear
enough, but the other has troubled me not a
little. It is 10 to 12 feet high in our yards.

You did not send me C. chapmanii. Will you
not do it now? & let me [?] it, if need be.

C. Wildmanii, the [real?], has not globose, but
oblong fruit, & [readily?] distinguished from C. [Steadii?],
which is globose, & [crossed out: it] has two long narrow leaves,
& is a [?] [?] plant.

I fear that C. Torreyi will not stand. I think it is
too near C. [pallismus?].
