          for [added: pressing?] his collections; and begged him to send me
 a few [added: dried] plants for Mr. Fielding, to whom I 
 am in arrears. 


 Through the Paris publisher, Boissier  has
 just sent me a few more numbers of his
 Flora of Granada. 


 I have heard from none of you 
 since Mrs. Torreys letter of the 8th.


 On Friday evening last we had an 
 interesting address, and on Sunday morning 
 a noble sermon from Mr. Chalmers of 
 the Scotch delegation (the most interesting 
 man of the set, I suspect) and we collected 
 over 100 dollars in a contribution, poor as we 
 are. We are planning to enlarge our church 
 edifice, which indeed is becoming quite necessary.


 You have not returned my letter 
 from Joe Hooker; nor the advertisement of 
 DC. Prodr. [De Candolle's Prodromus]. Leave at Wiley & Putnams
 to come in next parcel.


 Have you got the Kunth. Enum. [Enumeratio plantarum] vol. [volume]
 I sent some time ago? 


 Love to all. In haste, Yours faithfully


 Asa Gray
