I have received no such description. I can
hardly get it [added: in] now but you had better
send it by the next book.

You ought by all means to listen to
Hosack. You are no bound to esteem

obliged to publish his faults not to express
all your own impressions. Treat his attention 
with respect. But still essentially
be the same John Torrey forever and go
on independently. There is a way of treating
that subject [?] right, and do you
search out that way. At any rate do
not slight his attentions.

The Natural Orders of [Adrien de] Jussieu were not
printed until the genera were finished. We could not
refer to the descriptions before. So you must rip up
your book at put all to right by the pages
