 Dear Dr.


 Here are such of Xantus,
 plants as you will care to have. 
 Also my determinations. 


 Kindly look over the specimens, and 
 make corrections anywhere you find 
 me wrong, & return the mss. [manuscript] soon! 


 As you do so please erase 
 the deVesey from the label, Baird 
 says Xantus wishes especially to drop
 the deVesey.


 Enclosed is a copy of Memoir for 
 you, &. 


 Also a few more Australian 
 plants. 


 And a parcel of Polemoniaceae
 [Hb.? [Herbarium?]] [?] you long since sent to me, 
 but which I have no hope of studying 
 this year. So I return them. 
 Gilia Gunnisonii, &c., are among them. 


 [If?] now at beginning of a month, you
 want to pay me a debt, for 2 parts Martius.
