          Friday 25th May


 There Dr. dear is your Phacelia, 
 Popei is very decent as a name, and the Capt. [Captain] [John Pope]
 should have something. 


 I send the schedule for the plate, as it is to 
 go 4to [quarto], retaining the drawing to come with the rest 
 next week, for I have found better seeds, and 
 alter one of Sprague's figures & make him add 2 more. 
 Next week we will send a bill for them.
 I will put 1/2 the specimens in your herbm [herbarium].


 I forget whether you have the characters of Pope's 
 in Latin or English. If the latter, you can 
 translate, & any way you will, I suppose, have 
 to copy my mss. [manuscript] into your mss. [manuscript] to send.


 Glad to have Pope done. I hope Beckwith 
 will soon be done. 


 In haste, for I am dreadful 
 busy. 
 Yours ever
 A Gray
