Prof. [?] Torrey,

My Dear Sir,

I wrote you some time
since with the purpose of returning
Dr. Boott's letter to you. Though my
letter was mailed to you, as I believe I
have rcd. no reply, & suppose it
never reached you. I the more infer
this, as I have found the same letter
safely here, which I now try to send to
you, & expect to be successful.

In that letter, Dr. B. remarks on G.
triguetra, what I called G. monticola; &
he must be right, but I compared it
with his description, & was satisfied
of its difference; saw it was new to
me, & could find no description, as I saw
it not in Boott's triguetra; & the specimen,
I kept, seems to me different
still; but the one you sent him, is
no doubt right.

I want much to see your C. Jamesii,
as my plant seems so unlike. I
would it were in my power to come
now [?] it.

The C. minuta came from Dr. Boott,
