          disobeying orders at the present moment 
in working & can onlly peep at 
paper. I hope to be fairly at work
again in a week. The 10 fasciculum
of [N.] Wallich's spledid work has just made
its appearance. He has lately been kind
enough to dedicate a genus to my
second name (Kayea) the other being preoccupied.

Hooker's 4th fasc. of the arctic flora is 
also out & the second volume of the
fauna [Fauna Boreali-Americana] by [John] Richardson & [William] Swainson: a very
beautiful book containing the birds with 
a great number of exquisite colored plates.
I do not recollect whether I told you that
[Robert] Graham our Bot. professor here is about a
synopsis of the British Flora for the use
of his class. The number of our flora is
becoming quite amazing & if they act
as so many common centers for [?]
to a love of botany we shall soon be
the most botanical nation in existance.

Pray excuse my saying more for I
can hardly see what I am about
What is my old frield De Kay dont?

Yrs affecly
