Dear Doctor

Dear Dr.

Yours of the 13th. came this morning.
Of course I meant in my last to ask
you to dedicate one of your n. gen. to Sprague,
for the very reasons you suggest.

Jane being now at Beverly, I have asked
Charles to copy a part of the figure of E. intricatum
for you, & here is the specif. char.

Do you want also the the char. of E. [cinesema?]
E. elongatum
& E. gracile?

Today or Monday I will try to get
the loan of the [?] [Pl?] Lowell for you

I have not unpacked your [Apitalve?]
Fremont 3[rd?] yet, waiting till I study
the Fendler.  soon. But I am now
deep in Compositae E. Exped.

I have Nuttall's - 4to [quarto] - & notice his
sort of nastiness.

His talk of [?] & Cyclachaena amounts to little.

As to [Ptilomeris?] see Pl. Fendl p. 102 &[note?],
for you have J. W. Alexander again.

In haste Yours

ever AGray
