 Dear Doctor,


 I set a student to transcribing from Brogniart [Adolphe Brongniart], as 
 soon as the work could be obtained & in regard to which
 there was some delay, in consequence of its being in the
 library of Mr. Silliman, who with his family is out of
 town. The memoir is in the 10th, and not the 12th vol [volume],
 as stated in your letter.  I have not time to compare
 the copy with the original, but it has been transcribed
 by a very accurate young man, and I think it may
 be relied upon. All relating to the genera in question
 has been copied in full. The manuscript is just now
 brought to me, and I will deposit it in the office for
 the morning's mail.


 Yours in haste
 Chas [Charles] Hooker
