          my manual; but the foolish printer sent
us all the book but not the index. We shall
send for that tomorrow - it is printed, for we
have one copy of the index. I will send you
one by mail. I reduced my first plan
and it now consists of 150 pages. I am
sorry I did not incude more [?] Fifty
pages more could have made it much better.
I could now publish and edition of both
the dictionary and manual, which would
be useful. Perhaps I may in a year
or two. The dictionary would extend about 
30 pages farther, and the manual about 100. 
This would exactly comport with myy views
of the botanical school books.

I am respectfully yours

Can you tell Major Moon of any more
approved system of zoology, which he can
get for me, for 2 or 3 dollars?
