 Dear Doctor 


 I got home safely & nicely Monday
 evening, and have nearly cleared my tables of 
 their accumulations during my absence. 


 I have just unpacked the little parcel you
 selected from Chapman's bundle. The Scrophs [Scrophularias]
 marked Herb. Torr. [Herbarium Torrey] are duly laid in your 
 pigeon-hole. You did not add the 
 Phloxes. In your first parcel, at your convenience 
 please send them, also any Hydrophylls [Hydrophylla],
 as I have your whole stock in those families.


 There are some Vaccinieae, in Chapman's
 (V. [Vaccinium] Myrsinites etc.) which please send.


 Friday 


 I send you by this mail, in a pamphlet,
 two Scirpi [Scirpus], from a parcel by [Ithamar Bingham] Crawe, which 
 I cannot name. please tell me what they 
 are. The pamphlet itself, also, is perhaps worth 
 your reading. In haste 


 Yours faithfully 


 Asa Gray
