          his [Cacta?] Whipple not
 coming.


 And mail him a
 set of the plates & the
 copy I sent back to you
 by Bremen Steamer.
 I believe you must prepay,
 and a set of the plates
 & of the text if you can get
 it (from Bigelow?) to [Salm?]
 as E. [Engelmann] requests.
 If it is too hard he should be
 so disappointed about this.


 Have you written to Bigelow
 for the 100 copies? And
 have you got them?


 Let me know the expenses 
 you are put to.


 Ever Yours affy [affectionately]
 A. Gray
