Dear Sir,

I expected to hear
from you, about the Carices.
that is, on your settling the
point about C. decidua Boott.
Do you hold to the opinion, that
your specimens of the C. are not
characterized in his description
of the C. decidua, or what do
you conclude? I wish to
know this, for my own satisfaction,
if you do not object.

When will your
Report be published? May
I give any of the new ones
in Sill Journal? This is admitted
in other cases, so that
one may not lose what little
credit he may have a
right to. Or, what do you
say about it? .
