Dear Sir

Having a convenient opportunity 
of sending to you, I improve it to acknowledge 
the receipt of your letter of Oct. [October] 6th, and of the very 
interesting & valuable package of plants which 
was duly received a few weeks afterwards. 
In the course of the ensuing summer, I shall be 
able to supply you with an additional supply 
of most of the plants mentioned in your list. 
Many of these were collected during an excursion 
to the western part of the state, and are not 
found in this section of the country.

I have given a copy of this list to my friend 
Dr. N. W. [Nathan Wright] Folwell of Seneca Co. [County] an industrious
collector, who is situated in a section, rich in 
plants, and requested him to transmit specimens of
these & other interesting plants to you. I think 
he will be able to furnish you with many interesting 
plants, from that section of country 
and I shall be grateful for any favours you may 
have in your power to confer upon him
I shall be engaged, the ensuing summer at 
Fairfield, and at Salina, where I hope to 
make some interesting collections in Natural 
History.

If it is not too much trouble 
and the specimen is within your reach, may I
