I returned about ten minutes to[too] late 
yesterday for the boat. A Mr. Todd, I believe is going to-day. I wish I could have time to collect more for you this morning, perhaps
I may. I am going out, and if return soon
enough I will send you what I find.
If you know the [added: two] specimens (they are the same)
marked as unkown, I wish you would mention
it in your next.  I did not show it to
[Le Sues.?] All the rest are right according
to Martin & [Le Sues.?]

We are endeavoring to make up a party
of Hudson girls and boys to go up
to the lakes on Catskill Mt. on a 
botanizing excursion. Perhaps we shall
not go. I went up five weeks ago.
The Sorbus, Sinnaea, Drocaena &c[etc.]
were finely in flower.

Next Sunday I go home and remain 
in Troy all the nights of three weeks
but I lecture at Waterford (4 miles from
Troy) every other day.

We have a [potanogation?] here and at Albany
which wants Rafinequing or [connecting?] in
some way. We have called it compression; but
the stern is hardly compression and the specific
has more [?] than are allied to it.
