          &c has just arrived. Bojer and 2 other 
botanists in the island [Mauritius] will be a poor 
substitute for Mr. Telferin. I have been 
very busy since you were away with 
numerous collections, from N. [North] & S. [South] America, 
from Mexico from Texas (Drummond) 
from N. Holld [New Holland], Van Dms [Diemen's] Land, [Alteri?]
Cape & the Holy Land, besides the 
Unio Itineraria collecting from Algiers
& the Caucasus. I am endeavouring 
to name all Drummond's Southern
states & Texas plants as well as I can, 
but I am very deficient in authentic 
species from those countries, that is
species from the Amn [American] botanists. You
I am sure will give me all the help 
you can with the grasses & Cyperaceae
as I think you [took?] a [?] full
set with nos. [numbers]. I almost wish you 
had kept the 2 bundles of Gramae [Gramineae]  
I sent you by mistake & put names 
to them. I should then have received
them back with interest. 
You are very kind to offer to lay by 
for me from your collections. The 
parts of N. Ama [North America] from which I have 
had the fewest plants, I may say more
