          Friday


 I have another parcel at New York, from 
 Hamburgh [Hamburg], from Munich & from Schlectendal, 
 probably something for you, will probably be 
 here in a few days. 


 I keep Sprague very busy. [crossed out: Prof. As?]
 He does not work rapidly, but most 
 faithfully & well, makes thorough & 
 capital dissections now without me.
 The Corolla of Dionaea is not imbricate 
 but contorted! Many rather curious
 points turn up in the course of our searching 
 study. I have the 10th vol. of DeC. prodr. [De Candolle's Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis].
 You will probably find one at W. & P. [Wiley & Putnam's]
 The Index at the end is only of Genera
 [etc.?] after all. Did you get the 
 parcel for you I sent to John Carey? 
 I told him, if it was not called for to 
 leave it at the Med. Coll. [Medical College] in Crosby St. [Street]. 


 I remain, Yours affectionately 
 A. Gray
