          Mem. [Memorandum] for Dr. T. [Torrey]


 Friday


 Did I tell you (I fear
 not) that De Candolle sent you a
 copy of his Geographie Botanique from Paris, 
 through Smithsonian Institution. 
 Dr. Darlington has got his. You shd. [should]
 then ask Prof. Baird for yours. 
 Mine came earlier, being sent by 
 Bossage direct to Boston in a 
 bookseller's box. 


 About the scarlet species 
 of Aquilegia from California. 
 I ought to tell you that Hooker 
 has figd. [figured] it, from live plant,
 for Bot. Mag. [Botanical Magazine], (a no. [number] out by this 
 time, I presume), under the very 
 good name of A. [Aquilegia] cardinalis! 
 I told him you had long had it,
 but I knew not what you called it.
