Dear Friend

I have put up to send this day
a parcel for you, consigned to Grant, &
paid to New York (because I put into it
a copy of Genera for Princeton College & one for Mr. [Fuld?]
vol. 2*.) including the Nytaginia of my herbarium which
you wanted, also a copy of Genera [?] in
sheets, & Proceedings Am. Acad. for past year,
etc.

I should ask your acceptance of a bound copy
instead of this, if I could bind to match your vol. I.

I pack for Paris in a few days. But I will
postpone a fortnight, if you will be here meanwhile,
& bring anything you wish to send.

In my letter to Carey, I believe I [crossed out: asked] added remarks
in reply to the points in your letter of 3rd Sept, the last I
have from you, except to say that Jane
and I shall be very glad to see you here.

* You never replied to my question whether I should
send them, or you would have them thro Putnam, else
they would have been sent before. If meanwhile the [?]
subscribers are supplied, retain these on my account, till I want them,
If not, and you can readily get the cash from them, please send or bring it
to your obliged

A.G.
