          I have got that Frenchman's 
 [Int.?] California Collection, had it
 a fortnight, never opened a parcel
 yet, or peeped in. Come & work 
 at them, & take what you like to 
 touch. 


 Have you got sheets yet of 
 Mex. Bound. [Mexican Boundary] Botany. I want a set 
 much. 


 I asked Thurber the name of a couple 
 of Grasses. Let the Grass-man 
 speak; now that he is turned
 out to grass, let him attend to 
 his grazing.


 Love to all 
 Yours ever affectionately 
 Asa Gray
