 Thursday evening


 Dear Sir


 I finished your tables at once on getting 
 the materials _ The proof sheets (except the last which I had the
 precaution to work upon before sending off) came this morning.
 I dont like your additions [inserted: for] the No. you see in the body
 of the work was 1500 exactly: Subuloria [Subularia?] must go in & this
 makes 1509. Dr Haltons [party?] ed. not have sent you those plants I
 am sure it is either Crowe or K. or both - provided Dr. C. lives
 in that Co. I begged K to rake C's herbarium for any thing
 to be added. Browne has found no  other plant to go in but Subuloria [Subularia?] -
 quite a no. of localities he can add.


 I am in doubt whether I have calculated the tables as you
 intended. You could not have ment the percent as that
 wd. [would] convey no new information Fractions of 100 will
 give no more definite idea than fractions of 1500. I think
 the table of large orders would answer the purpose - the
 fractions of the others is of less consequence. You did not
 say whether you liked that. One of my letters was from
 Madras - the other from My brother to whom I can now write
 Thank you for forwarding them. Dr. Crandall & Mrs B were
 together when Subuloria [Subularia?] was pulled up. Neither knew it You
 pronounced on it. Mr Browne has it not or I wd [would] have sent
 it at once. He is not in tonight. expect to see him before
 this goes. left a note for him. Eupatorium rotundifolium is
 in its place. Dont know as I shall tell you when I got my
 information about "those 500 copies" The Sec. of State told
 my informant - he charged me not to tell but I told
 him I certainly should
