          I am not prepared to answer your question about Veronica 
 Virginica, Benth [Bentham]; will answer it soon. I know nothing 
 of [Phrynea?] or Verbenaceae. Your parcel which Mrs. 
 T. [Torrey] brought from you still lies in Boston, opened. 
 I shall have it tomorrow. Some copy of the Species 
 Plantarum will be indispensable to you. I can lend you
 my 2nd Ed. [Edition], as they have that in the College Library. Shall 
 I bring it on in July? 


 Castelleia [Castilleia, now Castilleja] coccinea,  Spreng. [Sprengel] syst. [systema vegetabilium] 2. p. 775.


 The 8th Vol. [Volume]  of DC. Prodr. [De Candolle's Prodromus] has reached the College Library 
 now. but I have not yet found time to look at it. 
 I shall hope to notice it briefly in next Silliman. Journl [Journal]


 I have a busy month before me: but in July I shall
 breathe free, and shall hope to see you.


 Love to all. Yours faithfully


 A. [Asa] Gray


 I have received then 2nd part of Adr. [Adrien] Jussieu's 
 Cours Elementaire de Botanique: a great work! 
 Some other things also, but none of any great moment.
