          let it pass on.


 Say in the preface that I have 
 helped in some parts & elaborated the 
 Compos. [Compositae] & [Scuph.? [Scrophularia?]]. And if there 
 are any spec. [specific] characters, or important 
 observations in any of the Polypetalae, you 
 may where you think it worth while,
 just cite "Gray mss. [manuscript]" But the 
 great bulk is yours & all that 
 [Endigenous?] work should be credited to 
 you alone. So pray fix it so. 
 I will read the proofs with pleasure.
 They must be well seen too. 
 Not only I did not send you that
 sheet finishing Pl. Hartw. [Plantae Hartwegianae], but I never 
 saw it. Bentham must have sent it 
 himself. Was it not addressed in his handwriting? 


 Engelm.'s [Engelmann's] Euphorbieae you can cite,
 as mss. [manuscript], when you need. Next summer 
 he will probably send me mss. [manuscript] to print. 


 Fraxinus Berlandini [Berlandieriana] DC. [De Candolle] = F. [Fraxinus] viridis, var. 
 Bosc's garden Fraxini are all Bosh.


 I do not remember any difficulty between 
 Aphyllon uniflorum & A. [Aphyllon] fasciculatum.
