Dear Doctor

Like a stupid man, I have some how
mislaid the character you sent me of the new
Rhus of Oregon. & now that I want it to see
if the Fendler is the same, I cannot find it.
Pray ask one of the girls to copy it out [?], and
I shall most heartily be thankful.

Heuchera, from [Ryla?]. Halstead not in [Walpers?]
nor in any of the late Mex. collections in Linnaean.

W is probably what [?] [?] [crossed out: mentions] means in his
locality "[?] Hispanica"- If you will give a name
& char, I will put in a note under the [crossed out: H. cylyndra]
Heuchera [added: parviflora] I have from St. Fe. [in a smaller script at right: (what is H rugelii Shuttleni in Linn.]

Malva leContii Bruckl. = Pavonia lecontei [?].
(nearly allied to P. hastata. [Car?] & giving still more to
weaken the genus Mena. I retain the specimens
as I mean to figure for Genera.

Your Sphaeralcea incana holds its own in Wislizenus' coll.
The [crossed out: rest of] parcel of malvaceae of Mexico - I have [?]
notes on & returned.- I mention your two new
Sphaeralceas to fix them in Pl. Fendl. - but hardly dare
write characters for them.

Thursday morning. I got your package containing
the things I wanted last evening.

Yesterday I was assorting your set of plants from near
Monterey. Mex. coll. by Edwards & Eaton - I have [?]
any notes to offer, which would not be perfectly obvious to you. Time
fails for studying them. No, 11, is a [?] [pomaceae?], same in Gregg.
