          Mr Thurber of Providence R.I. [Rhode Island] who is now in this city, tells me that
 he saw you putting up a parcel of Oregon plants for me, I have
 not as yet received them. If you could obtain from Dr. Torrey,
 whose direction I do not know, the plants I sent him 4 or 4 years ago,
 I would be much obliged to you. I fear tell the worms spoil them
 and wish to replace them in my herbarium, where their absence forms
 a considerable gap.
