          In a letter just come to hand he mentions
not having heard from you and fears 
his letter may be miscarried.

In addition to my botanical labors
I have undertaken to edit a compressed
encyclopedia whichi will keep me hard
at work for two or three years. The 3rd vol.
of my Crypt Flora has commenced. Each number
now contains one new [?] Fries' last
part is a capital production.

Hooker & I have commenced a series of
monographs of the most difficult genera
of Musci and have published that of
Orthotrichum, [Lygodium?] and Glyphomitrium.
To the first we have added above 20
species! And certainly between us have the
richest collection in the world. We are
now at work on the Tortula.

I shall be most happy to correspond
with Schweinitz and shall address a few
lines to him to your care. If you could
obtain specimens of his new Carices for
me it would be a great [?]

I am my dear friend
very truly yours
R.K. Greville

I have written in a great hurry as I have heard sonce I began
