          Dear Doctor


 Wright is waiting here, for his 
 plants that he may [crossed out: dis] look over them 
 with me, and aid in the distribution,
 & is much disappointed & fidgetty that they 
 do not come. Pray send them on, 
 and the things of the other collections (with 
 them, or later) which you wish me to have. 


 Wright will pay back to you the 
 $12, which you paid Express from 
 N. [New] Orleans, & all other charges. 


 In distributing you shall of course 
 have a full set, one for Col. [Colonel] Emory,
 for Government (i.e. Smithsonian), & the [crossed out: 3rd
 shall it] 3rd of the triplicates, shall
 that be reserved? or go in with the general distribution. 


 I have done no work this week yet, company
 ([?] & foreigners), & must be rather interrupted to-morrow. 


 Yours faithfully 
 A. Gray
