 Dear Doctor


 I hasten to anwser your
 note. I did not suspect you had left
 any thing except [crossed out: tht] the index to Vol 1
 wh. [which] I was careless enough to leave out
 it being [buried?] up at the time. All was
 safe in Hastings room.


 Mr Browne's name was wrong in the
 1st Vol. I did not know the true name but
 I have just been down & sent to him in bed
 & got his name.


 I have been fishing your papers for the
 Index _ I have got Polygala lutea & Corema
 Conradi [conradii] but cannot tell whether to put the
 latter among the C's or the Ls. Synonyms of
 Saxifraga [arhoides?] yet to be given me & corrections
 of Polygala


 I have been over the whole index examinging
 the alphabetical arrangement. That of the
 latter part of Vol 1 was much freer from
 errors than the first. This morning I
 underscore the generic names of synonyms


 Which do you prefer
 [within a left facing bracket:
 Tuckermannia 517
 Conradi 517]} or Tuckermannia Conradi 517
 You used both. I think the last best
