or to any Liverpool house. A letter should 
be written to the Duke to inform him of it 
being sent & by what vessel. He is so enthusiastic
an horticulturist that it is really quite

of North America will produce many 
new & excellent species.

When you wrote to me you had not recieved [received]
my little parcel of books, but in 
Jany. [January] I had a letter from Mr. Greene telling 
me that she had recieved what was destined
for him of your packet, so that I 
am sure yours is safely in your possession. 
I have now to beg you to accept part II of 
my little "Icones plant. [plantarum]" & no. 16-20 of my 
Bot. [Botanical] Journal. I think too from a memorandum

Pickering? What is Nuttall doing.

I have a beautiful set of plates for part VIII of
Flora Boreali Americana, especially of Gentianeae,
but Richter seems completely unable to go on with 
it. I at length got out another part of Beechey
which I send you. Pray return the duplicate of
