          rare et [and] new plants.


 Please to [do] let me know in you next 
 letter How it is that I have delivered more copies of
 your work than I have [hetered?] as received from you.
 I must have forgotten an invoice. How many did you
 send directly to D. B. Smith & others ? probably the 
 difference lays there.


 Yours very respectfully


 E. [Elias] Durand
