          There's $13 on Curtis's account and $6 on Kieskern's
 which W. & P. [Wiley & Putnam] have charged to me (I shall remit to 
 them next month, as arranged)   ______________________  $19 
 I paid for your Kunth, Vol. [Volume] 3, cash ______________   3.30 
 and if you have read your Endlicher suppl. [supplement], I
 shall have to pay about_______________________________     1.00
 (I pay for these importations down, in order to keep up the 
 10 pm cent system.)                                                                            $23.30


 If you will when convenient let Charles pay my 
 bill at Mr. Carmer's, he will probably find enough 
 over to pay a bill of Walling's for $5.19. 


 Kind regards to Casey, to whom I will write on the first 
 opportunity. 


 Many achenia of Senecio's emit spiral threads from the apex
 of short hairs very beautifully, so large that they may 
 be distinctly seen with Chevalier, no. [number] 3.


 Boston, 16th Nov. [November]


 No parcel has come from Wiley & Putnam.
 So the things I have ventured to ask you to send 
 may yet be in time.


 In haste 
 I remain, Yours affectionately 


 A. [Asa] Gray
