Dear Dr. Torrey

Pray kindly send me a
spikelet of your Cyperus stenolepis.
If I mistake not it = C. [Cyperus] tenuior,
Engelm. mss. [Engelmann's manuscript] =C. [Cyperus] Engelmannii, Steud. [Steudel]
But the scale is not narrow, the
achenium, nearly as long as (not scarcely 1/3
the length of) the scale.

14th Monday.

I do not hear from you. Not 
sick, I hope.

I have found an old blank for 
bill. I must ask you to fill up 
the blanks, which I forget how, &
get Capt. [Captain] Humphreys to do it, & get 
me the money as soon as you can, 
for I needed it very much

Ever Yours affectionately 
A. Gray
