          I copy for you the char. [character] of 
 Cassia aristillata.
 See that your specimens 
 have the striate sepals.


 I have not heard from
 Engelmann.


 I must press on & get
 through this mss. [manuscript] which
 I dare say you are wanting.
 I must try to leave home
 next week. Say about a 
 week hence, but I shall 
 not come to N.Y. [New York] till the week 
 after. Say Monday? 


 Ever Yours affy [affectionately]
 A. Gray
