 (Evening)


 Dear Doctor,


 I am waiting for you to send or to
 indicate what you want Hochstein to draw. 
 He is out of work, entirely. His Chaetocalyx,
 & Spragues two drawings. I'll send 
 to-morrow, to you, as directed by [crossed out: ?]
 Col. [Colonel] Emory (who has paid for them)


 I am very busy finishing up book &c.


 I should have handed you this mss [manuscript] of
 Engelmann's, wh. [which] came in letter while you
 were here.


 The 7 earlier leaves are Conspectus of [Euphorbia?]
 to be returned to me, when you have done
 with it (We shall have it amended from
 Berlin, probably)


 The rest is for Mex. Bound. [Mexican Boundary] Survey,
 I see, & so to go to you.


 I'll send parcel by Express


 In great haste Yours ever
 A. Gray
