          probably also of the N. A.[North American] Flora. Drummond's
first plants were not much better than you seem
to think them, but the last lot from Texas were
pretty fair specimens and contained many good
plants. I went through it with the Dr. & have
brought on a pretty complete set. as to Baldwin's
plants I do not think you have set too high a price
provided the specimens are in fair order & I should
like very well to purchase a portion of them provided
I could know what they were but purchasing at a
venture I should presume [yet?] so many were
duplicates that unless I could have a catalogue or
see the plants I should not care to purchase. I have not
attempted to procure any subscribers for Gray's Gramina
& Cyp, but I wish you would send a set 1st & 2nd to 
Dr. Greville in my name as soon as the 2nd No is out
Bigelow might take one & I will take some occasion to
ask him but our society are too poor. I should like
a set myself which you can send me as soon as 2nd No
