 My Dear Doctor,


 Having to send a parcel for 
 Sullivant to New York, I enclose in the cover to 
 Wiley & Putnam a little parcel for you containing
 2 more numbers of London Journal of Botany, & 
 the first part of Hooker's Species Filicum, 
 announced in my last letter. The parcel 
 came by Hamden's Express, and I have not 
 yet learned the charges upon the whole, 
 doubtless more than these would have been if 
 it had come in one of W. & P's [Wiley and Putnam's] cases. 


 My box from Fielding has come to hand,
 many good plants, from S. [South] America chiefly,
 but the usual story, many unnamed,


 There are one or two Brazilian Gay Lussacias [Gaylussacias].


 A few good plants from Russian N. [North] America 
 and the adjacent parts of Asia.


 Fielding Sertum plantarum, part 1,
 contains one of N. [North] American plant, viz. Stellaria 
 Nuttallii. 


 I have ordered the Botany of the 
 Voyage of the Sulfur (Bentham & Hinds) in
