          I don't see what business "a full-sized 
 Grayia" has on the State Report! You might 
 have used Clintonia.


 I have no copy of Gram. & Cyp. [North American Gramineae and Cyperaceae, by Asa Gray] and so 
 cannot answer your question about C. Willdenow.
 The Ohio plant of C. [Conyza] Steudelii. I do not 
 know how truly distinct. But is any of 
 mine C. [Conyza] Backii? I thought that was high 
 Northern. Love to all, Yours affectionately 
 A. Gray


 I had a Message from Mrs. [Greene?] on Thursday
 last informing me of Mr. & Mrs. Field's arrival that 
 morning. I called that evening on them at the U.
 S. Hotel, left my card, with a written request that 
 I might see them at Cambridge. I stayed home 
 some days, expecting Mr. F. [Field] would call, but he did 
 not. He was doubtless in good hands at Boston, &
 doubtless had every attention and his time well occupied. 
 Please tell him I should have been very glad 
 indeed to have seen him, and shown him any thing at 
 Cambridge and about. 


 A.G.
