          Tuckerman brought me a new
Carex, some weeks ago, found [last?]
summer by him, in [Amhurst?] & [?],
and he named it C. [acggrantha?], & it is
new.

Lately Wm. Boott sent me a
new one, apparently, from Illinois.

In my last, sent before yours
came, I asked if you had a spare
C. macrocephala for Dr. Sartwell,
to send it to me that I
might give it him from you.
I believe I said he wd. send
you the one mistaken by him
for C. monila Tuck.

I feel the more than ever
how much I wish to see you,
[?] to go to N. York. But
now, I am shut up in College.

Oct. 18. Thanks for yout letter of a few
days ago. I am sorry you have not one
more C. macrocephala, & that Sartwell
might get one. I do not see that he will
soon get one, unless you find a spare
one in your collection, not in the collection
from which you sent one to me. Thanks
for it, as it settles the matter; & Dr. B.
will yet admit it. [crossed out: It is] I hope you
will send me a few of those Carices, of
which that fine macrocephala is a good
sample. Thanks for it from that
