          With regard to a botanical excursion through some
of the southern counties, I shall be highly gratified
to accompany you for a fortnight or longer if necessary
Please inform me of your plans with regard to
the starting point, the route the necessary preparation
if anything more than common where & when you
wish me to meet you stc. stc. . . . . . . . . .

I may as well tell you here that I have secured
a good number of Floerkea proserpinacoides which I
found not far from this place also Aplectrum hymale,
a good supply of the Carices of this place
such as C. Davsii C. longirostris C. blepharophora and
the Carex of the swamp you called C. tenuiflora
I sent Prof. Dewey a specimen & he called it Carex
stenophylla. I have now some very young and
mature specimens I can send you.

I have a suite of Carices which have
been looked over by Prof. Dewey or rather I sent
him a suite of numbered specimens and retained
a like set numbered for myself.
He has kindly sent me the names with remarks
on many of the species sent. . . . . . .

You requested me to tell you whether I
wished any additional copies of the Geological
Report? I would like to have two or three
copies of the Report if they could be spared
for my Botanical friends here. There is
a young gentleman here who is very zealous
and has a fair collection for a beginner.

I can dispose of 3 copies of the Flora
for you and send you the money at any
time or give it to you when we meet
One for Dr. I. N. Meacham of Utica another
either for Hobart Hall at Holland Patent
where I have been lecturing a little or for a 
private individual here. perhaps I may
find more subscribers here by and bye.
