Dear friend,

We later {?} up a few manuals
to send to Awards, and I sent I sent along one for 
you. I carried an Orchis blephariglottis,
Sedum latifolium and [Nalhisnenia?] spirilis.
I just sent you this fast to prove to you, that
our [Nalhisnenia?] is the officialis. [Boatloads?] are
now growing there, some with the fustillate
[?] 5 or 6 feet longseriously official.

You and B. Jamess will be obliged to
give up your Monotropa [firocena?].
It is the Pterospora andromeda of Nuttal.
It is now in flower.

I am just going to Troy. I took
time to write a word that you may
call at [Iwords?]! You must make
our book sell. We just sent a dozen to
[Iwords?], by way of trial. Next [?]
day I set out on my great eastern
circuit. You could not do better
than go with me. I go with a two 
horse wagon. I shall [crass?] all
those interesting primitive names in 
Massachusetts. Go to [?] [?]
minor, Chesterfield, Joshua, Deerfield, [?]

[Y?]
