          Cambridge. 17th March [?]  1849?

Dear Doctor

I send this to Grant, with
15 letters for foreign packet.
You may imagine I am tired of
writing. I have just sent off
two large boxes to Hamburgh.

I could not get a proof of
Fremontia, in time. I hope you
sent your own, which I can
only replace.

Sprague is now at work on
Krameria (which Benth. is [?]
about in Pl. [?].) the last plate
in vol. 2. Next come your
things, which he is now going at
which you will have first.
I will take up Batis first, unless I
hear from you. Your things
are now first in order.

My wife is very poorly again.
Your note to me, which I got
discounted here, I have myself paid,
