          Olney tells me that Knieskern 
 is going soon to the Mountains of 
 Northern New York. Is this true? 


 I have written him, to send me 
 one or two live plants, if in flower, before 
 he goes. I tell him also, that I am 
 ready to furnish a purchaser here for 
 a full set of all the American 
 plants he has got, especially his Carices
 & Gram. [Graminaceae?] & Cryp. [Cryptogrameae?], [crossed out: nicely put up] nice
 & good specimens, labeled neatly, if he 
 will ever be ready to distribute them, 
 which, though, I think is problematical. 


 I have, as I think I have 
 already told you, got another fasc. [fascicle]
 of Martius's Palms, the next to 
 the last, and expect the remainder 
 towards the autumn or winter. 


 Affectionately Yours 
 A. Gray
