          I am curious to know about the queer 
 plant from Chapman. 


 We have a new true Rutaceous plant 
 from Texas. 


 I hope you safely got the 4to [quarto] pamphlets 
 I sent to you via W. & P. [Wiley & Putnam] & Hastings. Send 
 Casey his parcel by Hastings. You know his 
 number. 


 A fine order for Botanical books is going to 
 Leipsic [Leipzig] by next steamer, for Mr. Lowell. 


 In usual Haste Yours truly & faithfully
 Asa Gray
