 My Dear Friend. 


 The time draws near when I may 
 expect to see you. I hope your next will fix the 
 day. I have been greatly pressed by visits 
 from local botanists, and by the necessity to prepare 
 at once notices for Sill. Jour. [Silliman's Journal] & N.A. Rev. [North American Review], or 
 I should have written sooner. 


 My wants begin to multiply.


 1. I want you, to bring me some arseniate [arsenate] of
 potash to put in my glue


 2. Will you bring the [crossed out: Nutt] Malvas of the
 [illegible] Nutallia group, of your herb. [herbarium]. Your
 Malva pedata* of Fremont Cat. [Catalogue of plants collected by Lieut. Fremont in his expedition to the Rocky Mountains, by John Torrey] is wide from
 that plant indeed. I have it now in flower from
 seed. It is either new, or more likely M. [Malva] involucrata
 (I want to see the Jamesian specn [specimen]) Harvey 
 has that or some one like it in flower from Western
 (Texan?) seeds. If new I shall figure ours,
  and [crossed out: revi?] take that opportunity to revise the 
 group, as you know there are some corrections to be 


 3. What is your name (MP.) for [crossed out: Croton?]
 Croton ellipticum? I want to use it.


 *I see you have Malva involucrata in cat. [catalogue]. Mine is that then,
 though the seeds were marked M. [Malva] pedata?
