Rochester Oct. 3. 1859.

My Dear Sir,

I wrote to you two
days ago, & gave my thanks
for the Carices. Now, I write again
to reach you before you answer.

[?] If you have any number
of C. macrocephala, I wish
you would send me one to present
from you to Dr. Sartwell.
He will, I have no doubt send
you specimens of C. Vaseyi, [Dew.?],
the Carex he considered C. monile
Tuckerman, till he found by
Boott's Illust., that Tuck. has
misnamed it for monile [added: by oversight], when
it is not, as Boott shows. [Illust.?]
no. 71, in his remarks that no. 152
of Sartwell's Exsic. is not the
true monile; & that 152 was
among those sent from Sartwell,
which he saw to be difft. & notices
somethings about it. I have had
it for years, & have now given it
