 My Dear Doctor


 Your last favor, and that 
 of Knieskern reached me this morning.
 I hastened immediately to Boston,
 & Mr. Lowell proposed to send this 
 check of $70 to you to pay to K. [Knieskern]
 when the plants are actually dispatched. 


 Mr. Lowell asks that K. [Knieskern] & yourself
 should fix the price of the plants and
 no lean it to him, or me. 


 If this now sent is not enough, 
 more shall be sent. If too much, 
 let K. [Knieskern] send as many as he can of 
 those plants he writes of to me (Cyps. [Cypselea?] & 
 [Grains?], &c) of which he can furnish only 
 one set. It is storming dreadfully. 
 Advise me of the arrival of this 


 Yours faithfully 
 A. Gray
