          Knieskern has not sent
 me the rest of the Lowell
 plants, though I have urged 
 him over & over. Mr. L. [Lowell] is now
 arranging his herbarium, and George 
 is probably to glue for him through 
 our ensuing vacation. So Mr. 
 L. [Lowell] wishes them now, if ever. 
 Instead of sending these, for 
 which the cash is always ready, 
 he sent me two parcels of 120 
 species each to exchange for him 
 in Europe! But instead of doing 
 so I sold one of them to Prof.
 Cleaveland & forwarded $5 by mail 
 to K. [Knieskern] last week: and shall
 watch for a chance to dispose of 
 the other also. I wrote him 
 to send the two sets for Mr. Lowell
