          No doubt you are right about the 78.95.


 I have paid Wiley's account & all is
 square now.


 The Fremont [matr?].  no. 428. 1846, I append
 a brief character to, in a note, as "Malvastrum

 [?] came: but I am sure they will
 not grow, for there are no tubers, only the
 base of the stalks [?] fine leaves, fruits, etc.


 I shall be right glad of Amouruxia.


 I want to draw Guaicum angustifolium. [Engelmann?]
 but my Tex. specimen, is only in young fruit,
 neither flowers nor ripe seeds.  Have you both
 or either from New Mexico- that I can use - one or
 two of each would do - in a letter perfectly.


 Have you any flowers or fruit of Castila [Castilla?] nicholsoni
 or must I send to Hooker for them.


 On my return from the P. O. this morning who
 should I find here but friend Holton, just from
 Vermont. I have botanized with him this
 afternoon in the garden, & filled his presses full!
 He returns to New York at the end of the week.


 Jane is with me, has been since Saturday & must
 remain, except that she has to see about getting
 her fathers house ready in Boston. Best wishes 
 & love to the family. We hope Mrs. T. & the other girls will come yet.
 Jane sends much love.


 Yours affectionally


 AGray
