          before your letter arrived, Dr. Harris was giving me 
 some information respecting some White Huckleberries 
 that have been found in the State. An old woman 
 has a locality which she monopolizes and keeps secret.
 Lately some others have been noticed in the agricultural 
 papers. I am on the track after them, and shall
 soon I hope find them out. I suspect V. [Vaccinium] resinosum.
 There is a white var. [variant] of V. [Vaccinium] Myrtillus in Germany. 


 My parcel for you, advised in my last, was forwarded 
 to W. & P. [Wiley & Putnam] New York on Monday last. Hereafter I 
 will send, as you suggest to Endicott's care.


 The papers mention Lieut. [Lieutenant] Fremont's arrival at
 St. Louis!
