          C. circinalis [Cycas circinalis] is very fine & is the only one I have seen in this
country while C. revoluta (if the plant commonly known as such is so)
is common in all good collections. Mr. K. will be very glad 
to have an opportunity of looking [over?] Richard.

The "world [on?] instability" as shown up by the new poet-laureate
I shall be much pleased to look over when you can lay your
hand upon it.

Has the second edition of Lindley's "Introduction" or his "Key to 
Structural etc. Botany" reached New York. I wish to get 
a glimpse of the latter as it is said to contain the 
"Nexus Plantarum" a little pamphlet [added: of his] which I was never able 
to get hold of?

Will you pardon me if I again remind you of the Viscum
seeds which I spoke of in my last? I should be exceedingly
gratified if you could put me in the way of getting
some of them. I may be in town on business a few hours 
next week & if so I shall endeavour to call on you.

A friend of mine residing near Boston [added: who is a very good botanist except muscology] the Rev. J.R. Russell
writes me to know if Dr. Gray or yourself will for a set of specimens
of the different mosses of that neighborhood return him a "names
[list?] even if it were only of the genera." Could Dr. Gray gain any
thing in the way of eastern mosses by a little trouble in this [crossed out: ?]
method? How does the Dr. progress in his promised "Muscologia"?
