My dear Sir

I embrace the first leisure moment in this
our very busy season to write you again. We seem to have
suffered less by the severity of the winter than most of the
other nurseries & our constant demands for many kinds have
been so great as almost to exhaust them.

Please inform me about the 2d part of Dr Gray's work,
the price & how many specimens will it contain?
And has he still on hand any of the first vol. or no. [number]?
I should be much pleased toget a few seeds of Viscum
verticillatum. Can you or Dr Gray inform me from whom
or where I can procure a few?

As we were sending plants by the Providence (steamboat) this
evening I have put a small box on board containing a
few plants for Mrs Torrey nothing it is true any rare
but which I nevertheless hope she will accept.

You write me in your last that you can send me one of
Shorts catalogues. I have not the pleasure of an acquaintance
with him & I should be pleased if you would spare me
one of them. I am anxious to examine for a short time 
some work on the mosses with plates. If you have
a copy of Hookers Museologia Brittanica [Britannica] that you
