          Friday Evening.


 My Dear Friend, I send you this rough report of the Fremontian
 Compositae, embracing nearly all. There are some common
 looking Asters & Solidagoes & which I have not cared to name. 
 Also a few Artemisias, which perhaps I will add [crossed out: befr?] before this sheet 
 goes. They are mostly the same as others already named. 


 I specially request that you will send me the locality of
 the numbers specified below, as soon as you conveniently can. 
 We are all well, and busy as bees. Did Mrs. T. [Torrey] receive
 my parcel by Adams' Express? 
 Yours ever truly 
 Asa Gray


 Please send me at once the locality of no.
