Cannot you get the members of the Lyceum
to subscribe for my Manual? I shall publish
it myself, if the subscription will warrant it.
I do not like to be dependent on speculating
book sellers. Get all you can as soon as possible
for if you calculate to do it any time you
will never do it.

Write me any improvement which you or
the members of the Luceum can suggest, consistent
with the general plan and not mentioned
in this prospectus.

Bigelow says that my [Aralia?] and your [?]
is the Sisymbrium amphibium. If so,
the distinction between the 1st & 2d orders of the
15th class is not so clear as I had supposed.
I expect to see Bigelow in a few weeks. I 
you wish me to converse (unauthorized) on 
the subject of your Northern States flora tell
me what to say - But you must write very 
soon after receiving this; for I may see him 
week after next.

Your friend,

Amos Eaton

Mr. J. Torrey

I send you a Manual Prospectus in 
the mail with this.
