          in Sept. [September] & which I surmise was C. [Carex] livida Wahl [Wahlenberg]
 Are you sure the plant you found in New Jersey is 
 the same, which. you say. Dewey calls C. [Carex] Halseyana
 Our plant does not agree the description or fig. [figure] of C. [Carex] Halseyana
 in Dewey's Caricos. I sent it to Dewey. with other 
 plants. a few weeks ago. He says it is not C. [Carex] Halseyana
 but does not give an opinion, sent me Wahl [Wahlenberg] & Willd. [Willdenow] 
 description of C. [Carex] livida. Our plant agrees somewhat 
 but has not the subradical. pist. spike. is a taller plant
 &c. 


 in haste 


 Yours Very Respectfully
