          The little Crucifera I remember in Fremont's
 2nd coll. [collection]. It is doubtless a
 Lepidium, and a new one. 


 The Compositae next time. 


 If Riocreux will be emigrate, we will 
 pay him twice as much for his drawings 
 as he now charges. 


 A pleasant time at Beverly. 


 Jane is there still: but will be 
 up this week, to commencement, &c.


 My Gay's Flora Chil. [Chilena] is bound
 2 vols. [volumes] in one. I have 4 vols. [volumes] complete,
 & 2 others (one Phanerog. [Phanerogams] one Cryptog. [Cryptogams])
 incomplete. If he does not soon 
 send me the rest I must order it. 


 Wellingtonia seeds & Megarhiza [Megarrhiza] 
 soaked [?] [some?].


 Push up Bigelow to send on his 
 talk of Wellingtonia, &c. for Silliman, 
 & put your note to it. 


 Ever thine.
