          I shall want these as soon as the
genera are printed, which will be by the
middle of June. Do not neglect me.
Many plants are not credited to us by [Henry] Muhlenberg,
which grow here. I found a Sanguisorba
media [now Sanguisorba officinalis] yesterday—some days ago, I
found a Cardamine spathulata, with many
others not credited here.

I am collecting every plant I can
find. My wife has been long unwell—she
does no business [added: of consequence] only to collect and preserve
plants, and teach the children. I shall 
[missing: (hole in paper) add to?] your herbarium several which you have
not probably seen—I have the Corydalis
rosea [now Capnoides sempervirens]—Bartsia coccinea [now Castilleja coccinea] – Tragopogon dandelion [now Krigia dandelion]--
Dionaea muscipula etc.

I have heard nothing from my manuscripts
since I received your herbarium. I beg of you
to send it as soon as possible. I want the
“Bugology” very much. You must continue
collecting bugs. I shall collect all I can.
Young Smith is sent by the college to collect
plants and he promised me that he would collect
insects also. I told him, that you were collecting; he
will give you every assistance towards [added: an] American Entomolgy—

Yours in friendship, Amos Eaton.
