          absence your portrait occupies a prominent place
in our principal room. Greene went with me too
at the British Association Meeting at Edinburgh &
has promised to prepare a report on N. [North] American
Botany against the next meeting Aug. 1835 at
Dublin.

I regret extremely the loss of poor Schweinitz.
I too have to [comment?] the death of Dr. [William] Carey at 
Serampore and of Dr. [John] Gillis. This last died last
week, diseased in mind as well as body. I 
hope you will obtain from the executors of 
Schweinitz the plants which he had promised 
you. Have you heard from or of Nuttall? 
Do you think he will do much in botany? 
I hope he will cross the Rocky Mountains 
south of Drummond's tracks or he must not 
expect to find much novelty. Indeed my 
dear friend I wish you could find some 
able collector who would visit the Rocky 
Mountains south of 40°. Thence all the 
way to Mexico is a terra incognita save what
[James?] has done. And the extent of his discoveries 
you are best acquainted with. Is
Nuttall's paper on Captn Wythe's [Captain Nathaniel B. Wyeth's] plants yet 
printed? I am very anxious to see it.

Drummond has sent some excellent things 
from San Felippe de Texas [San Felipe de Austin, Texas], the best that 
have yet come. Greene was much pleased
