          This new genus has interested me 
 greatly. 


 I send to [crossed out: Muller] F. Muller [Ferdinand von Mueller],
 of Australia by a vessel now
 up, to sail in January, 
 not before middle. Please 
 send on soon anything 
 you have to send him. 


 What is Thurber's address? 
 I want him to name a few 
 Grasses. 


 I hope you are no longer 
 troubled in your office. How 
 is it?


 Jane sends her warm 
 love, or would, but is gone to 
 bed. I think she wrote to Eliza 
 a day or two ago. My love 
 to all yours. 


 Yours ever
 Asa Gray
