Apropos of Dr. Grey.  Tell him to send 2 copies of the
$5 edition(printed title pages index etc.) to the steam-boat Providence
post of Warren St. on or before Saturday afternoon next when she
leaves for Newburgh - I have instructed the Cup to pay the
amount which he will please tell the bearer to ask for.  I am delighted
to see a regular illustrative work on these difficult natural
orders & I hope to dispose of some more copies for Dr. Gray when
I shall begin to see more of my botanical friends as the Spring
opens.  If Dr. Gray would have the goodness to recollect me
in the way of seeds, living plants & when on his southern 
tour I should be very grateful.

Mr. Nuttall intended journey was really news to me 
I suppose he will make a pretty thorough investigation of
our rich western regions.  Do you know whether he 
is still connected with the Cambridge (Map) Botanic garden
& chair?  Has Prof. Lindley's "Introduction to Botany"
published last year found its way to this country yet? It
is spoken so highly of as an elementary work that I am
rather anxious to see it.

I have just received a lot of Dionas etc. per Dr. McRea
of Wilmington for whom acquaintance I feel also obliged to you
