          at once. 


 My present object is to 
 ask you to lend me your 
 specimen of Symplocarpus
 Kamtschaticus, from 
 N.W. [North West] Coast, Scouler. If 
 you will send it, put it 
 up along with a parcel 
 of Orchids, a Mr. Austin 
 left with you for me, 
 some months ago, and 
 any thing else which may
 have accumulated for me.
 I have what must be 
 a close congener of it from 
 Japan, but with no 
 spathe at all. I want 
 to compare flowers, &c. 
 They are truly distinct, 
 from Symplocarpus, at least
