          take out what belongs to himself & forward to you 
what were marked for you & Prof. Silliman. I recieved [received] 
a last no. of the "Journal" lately from Silliman which [certified?]
me that the little negotiation had been effected
& I thank you for the trouble you [have?] [?] in it. You 
kindly left back the copy of Beechey & mentioned that 
Dr. Gray had taken it. But my good friend I cannot &
will not allow him to pay for it. With the present parcel 
I have sent him & you the continuation of that,
& [added: you] of the Flora Bor. [Boreali] Americana & the Icones Plantarum 
of which two [crossed out: parts] [added: works] another part is now just completed. 
You will also recieve a copy of ed. 4 of my 
British Flora. Nos. 1-5 of Annals of Nat. Hist. [Natural History]
& nos. to complete the Compn. [Companion] to the Bot. Mag. [Botanical Magazine] save
one [crossed out: or two] [added: no. I] which I have been obliged to [added: write to] London for, 
& which will consequently go in next parcel. Also 
there are [crossed out: thin?] certain things from Prof. Silliman & 
for yourself again some copies of your Torreya.

the expedition to Santa Fée [Fé] was obliged to be given 
up. You did wisely in so determining no doubt
but I did reckon most exceedingly upon how having
some of the plants of the southern chain of the 
Rocky Mountains, which must be exceedingly 
curious. Messrs. Shaw & Vance say they know 
nothing of the Duke of Bedford's bill, but I shall 
write to them again & I dare say they will be reminded 
of the transactions, or you will perhaps be so good 
as to do so. There is however I think no assertion for 
you to trouble yourself, for I find, by me, the letters 
from Mr. Jo. [Joseph?] Shaw acknowledging the money I sent for 
myself & that for the Duke of Bedford. So that 
all will be set right. The sum is indeed a trifling one 
to His Grace; but as he is pleased to consult me in 
the employment of money in that way I wish to be a faithful
