          at my long apparent neglect. I have today
only time to say that I am living and well,
and hope to renew my botanical labors with
increased zeal, as leisure is granted.

I have remarked an interesting collection
made by Dr Gregg from the Rio Grande to
Saltillo and Mexico City. He is gone to
California since May last. There are
a number of duplicates a set of which
I hope will prove acceptable to you
They shall be put out as soon as I have
leisure.

Fendler had gone toward the Salt
lake, but meeting with misfortune, loosing
his all by flood, he has just returned.

Among Greggs plants is one which
may prove the Amoreuxia - I shall see.

Very truly
my dear Doctor
Yours

I enclose an attempt to distinguish 3 [?Cleonullae]
I see one with [?] among Greggs, dont know
yet whether it will [added:help to] unite or distinguish the two
mexican forms.
