          too early at the South to do much however I shall ship
off two or three Reams of paper to Quimby & if I can
only make out half as well in the vegetable as he proposes
to do in the mineral kingdom I shall think I ought to be
satisfied. You say you shall take out all the rare &
doubtful plants in your pubn.[publication] & this is no doubtthe
most important objects but you will do well also to
take with you as many duplicates of all sorts as
you can lay your hands on. I enclose a letter
to my brother & should have been happy to have
added others but you are already acquainted
with all & more than all the naturalists I am acquainted 
with. You will be delighted with Dr.
Hooker who will be happy to introduce you to any
of the savants whether in England or France.

With best wishes that you [visit?] may be pleasant
& your return safe.

I am very truly yrs[yours]
BD Greene

Ps
Miss Welles & Co Paris will give you my brother's address, theirs you
may obtain from any American in Paris.
