 Dear Sir


 Yours of Sept. [September] 14th giving an account
 of an excursion to the Neversink hills was only 
 received. Poa quinquefida which you found there I
 collected at Hoboken. Gnaphalium germanicum 
 I found a few specimens of a Gnam [Gnaphilium] at Bethlehem 
 Pa. [Pennsylvania] wh. [which] I suppose to be that species. I send the spec'm [specimen]
 that you may judge.


 I should like very much to explore the Pines, next 
 summer & as I now know of nothing to prevent me 
 from devoting the latter part of the summer to that 
 purpose, I think we may very easily make an
 arrangement.


 I have borne in mind your suggestion as to drawing 
 plants, but so far I have been too much engaged 
 to make the attempt. I will try to do something 
 at it. 


 I avail myself of a good opportunity of sending to you.
 although I have received no plants since my return 
 except a small package collected in Michigan [Xer?] &c
 I send some specimens from this collection, although
 Dr. Folwell may send you a complete [added: suit] of all he collected. 
 but for fear he may not I send a few of which I have 
 duplicates. The following were also received, but not in sufficient 
 quantity to enable me to supply you
 Phlox aristada Ph. Scutellaria canescens. Buchnera 
 americana. Potentilla confertiflora Tor. Aletris aurea?
 (Houstonia tenuifolia Nutt.? fr. Zanesville Ohio) the others from
 Michigan [Ter?]. Botrychium obliquum Lodi Seneca Co [County]
