          I have also put into the packet a piece of Jasper
 which from its lustre I at first supposed might be allied
 to red ox of Zinc [added: or to Titanite]. When trying its [?] I found it the 
 same as Jasper. I wish you would tell me whether
 it is only Jasper.


 I wish you would send me a good sp [specimen] of Pyrola
 elliptica and another of P. rotundifolia as I have
 some difficulty in knowing whether we have them
 both here.


 Could you send a piece of what you called Hematite
 of Nuttall - resembling [Arbest?].
