          of Mex. [Mexican] Boundary Survey. 
 I must have sent them back 
 by inadvertence. I find none left 
 here but a sheet of 
 Evolvulus sericeus, from Capt [Captain]
 E.K. [Edmund Kirby] Smith.


 I can do a little more now. 
 Do you much want me to name 
 Convolvulaceae, I will study them 
 if you much wish it, tho. [though] I 
 have no great fancy that way, 
 except perhaps for Evolvulus. 
 Let me know. 


 You had better (you or I 
 must soon) revise the Euphorbiaceae
 other than Euphorbia,
 so that A. [Alphonse] De Candolle may
 have the notes & names of [ours?] to 
 help him, a very decent 
 job, if we had time for it. 
 I hope you will. 


 I had best at length
 grapple with the Hydrphyllaceae [Hydrophyllaceae]
 enough to get along 
 with the Boundary things, 
 I suppose. But I shall have 
 only stolen time this winter. 


 Ever thine
 A Gray
