          I would not hesitate to take my own name, if I were you.


 Carex [drummondia?] came to Carey. He will bring back
 to you.


 I hope you will get the Chem professorship in N. Y.
 I have marked on the spec. of [Pt?] Durandii, that
 I presume you are right. But I have no spec.
 of Fragaria [ludica?] to compare with.


 Please ask LeConte to send right away a flower
 or so of Paronia lecontei.


 I don't much like to have you put Halstead's
 name to a Heuchera, which others have gathered before,
 though they may have confounded it. I'll [see].


 H. [?], I supposed, was the soft & thin round-[?]
 form of H. villosa, which Buckley got,
 & I have seen often.


 So much for the notes botanical. More by Carey.


 Endicott writes for the $100 I have long owed him.
 wants it [returned?] the 5th & the 10th, [?]. I send him
 a draft on you payable on the 9th which please accept.
 if convenient.


 Jane, who was taken sick the very afternoon
 she wrote last, is I hope getting well, but I am not
 desirous she should get well fast, but slowly. She is
 still nearly confined to her dressing room. She as
 well as I, is pleased with Eliza's promise to make us a
 visit, we hope a real long one, but will ask her
 to wait yet a week or two. I am sorry she should not
 be here in time to enjoy this fine weather. But I think
 she won't mind a Boston Nov. & Dec.


 Love to all-


 Yours ever
