          I have not got my $200
 yet from the executors of Michaux,
 but I have information that 
 the widow wishes to pay it,
 and shall arrange to have 
 drawn soon. 


 We must use it in some 
 way to do honor to Michaux
 memory. 


 I am dreadfully pressed 
 not time yet to fix up the 
 mss. [manuscript] of Compositae of Boundary.


 Ever yours
 A. Gray


 [added, in blue pencil]
 I have long letters from Bentham, 
 Ward, & Joe Hooker.
