          take [mistake] is not possible, for he says
the fruit of C. loliacea is so obtuse,
as if it had almost [?] [?] at the
apex, [?]; while the descripton
& fig. of fruit of fig. 24 Schk. [?]
& acute, & does not begin to be
obtuse.

Nylander, I find, gave the name
of C. Blyttii to C. tenella Schk.,
so long after Schk. gave it; perhaps,
because Schk. in part gave up his
C. tenella to C. loliacea, but ought
not.

I am greatly obliged by your
letter, that I may hope for duplicates
of Carices of Expl. Ex. etc. I
shall be greatly obliged by them.

Excuse this bore on Carices.
I did not intend it. The books, & your
[references?], waked up the thoughts,
which had [better?] not come forth
perhaps. Yet, I know, you will be
gratified that my hand is yet in the
matter.

To your better self & those loved
daughters my cordial & high respects.

Truly Yours

C. Dewey
