Actinella acaulis var [Monterey?]
But I now think it must be A.

Cambridge Febr. 1st. 1849

Dear Friend

You remember there was
a small collection of Gregg's plants
notified by Short as having been
sent to me, thro the booksellers
in 1847, long before the one which
came to you, and which had
never come to hand.

This evening it came, with a
note on it from "A. Gray, Brooklyn,"
[inserted: Professor Alonzo?] N. Y.  saying it was left at his
house by some person unknown.
I wonder if he has kept it for two
years, although addressed to "Professor
A. Gray, Cambridge, Massachusetts"!
