          without being named, others neither
numbered nor named. What hope do you 
give me of having these named in future?

You said you were soon going to look
over Lundgren's plants. I hope you will soon,
so as to able to answer my queries. You will
four plants marked A, B, C, & D, which I wish
to know, and of which they were no duplicates
prone to take, and which therefore I did not venture
to dissect. What are they? I desire much to know.

Do not forget that you have some of Elliotts
plants still. Which are they? Do you wish to retain
them until you complete that 2nd vol. which Gray
told me he had begun to finish. Dr. John P.
Barratt of Abbeville So. Ca. [South Carolina] also begged me
to remind you that you had some of his plants,
in your hands for examination, to be returned
afterwards. I think I mentioned these to you
in a former letter, but you omitted in your
answer to say anything about them. Do give
me some message for him.

I have been looking over my Ferns since
I have been home, and made out a list of my 
wants, to get you or others to help me to them
