My dear Sir

I hope, that now that we have a regular &
frequent communication of vessels between this 
city & New York, that our correspondence will 
be less interrupted. Knowing how much 
you wished for a copy of De Candolle's Prodromus,
I sent by the packet of last month a
copy to you & enclosed in it a specimen of the 
true Myosotis nana from Switzerland,
which I also know you had not, & further 
that you wanted to compare it with your American 
M. nana. I believe I had no time to 
write you more than half a dozen lines, for
I was then setting off for the mountains, & I 
promised to send you some of the plants which 
were the results of that journey. This I now 
have the pleasant of doing & I add a few
others.

Your last letter to me was dated Feby [February] 3d
& was accompanied by a number of the 
Annals of your Lyceum: & I have since recieved [received]
as far as no. 4, from May 1824. I thank you 
for all you have told me in that letter. American
