          who are said to have taken
the bark & specimens of
wood of the famous
tree to your city for exhibition.

I often hear of you from
our friend Gray. I wish
you would come & see
us as he did. You would
see a Garden & Herbarium
that I am sure
would give you pleasure
to inspect, the 
latter augmented since
Asa Gray was here by
all Dr. Bromfield's herbarium
& all Mr. Bentham's
& their libraries
