 Dea Torrey,


 Yours of yesterday is recd. [received]. 
 Seemann is here. What a 
 pity your parcels were 
 not got ready, when you had 
 only to address them &
 turn them over to Seemann.


 Are the Pope and Gunison [Gunnison]
 plants among these things 
 you wanted to send? I suspect 
 so. Now mine are already 
 in France, and, all but
 the plates of the latter) in Germany 
 too. 


 I have sent by Seemann 
 a copy to Hooker to make
 all sure. My stock is 
 pretty low of these things 
 and I cared not to spare
