          I sent this morning 
 a parcel to you, to 
 Grant at W. & P. [Wiley & Putnam]


 It contains,


 1 Odds & ends of Gram. [Graminaceae] & Cyp. [Cyperaceae]
 from Bengal, Griffith, 
 a bolster for my parcel, 
 but the specimens I fear 
 rubbish.


 2. Asclepiads etc. from Tex. 
 Lindh. Coll. [Lindheimer's Texas Collection], to be distributed 
 soon, please report on them
 & return sooon.


 Mem. [Memoir?] the leaf of Engel. A. [Engelmann's Asclepias]
 glaberrima  is just like Sullivants.
