My Dear Friend!

I shipped two boxes of roots
of living plants from this place to Tom's
River for New York on Monday last, but on
accoount of the rainy weather it is doubtful whether
they will leave the latter placet his week. Dr. Gray's
box was directed to Wiley & Putnam 161 Broadway as
requested by the Dr. and and the other to be left at
[?] Coal yard foot of 14th St Directed to your care.

I here give you a list of the plants as far as
I could ascertain in this season; There are not
as many species as I wished to collect, but quite
a number of the specimens required I did not
know having never found them and some of 
them were (at least for the present) entirely beyond
my reach; If Sir Wm is not satisfied with this
lot; as they should not succeed well, I will try
to make amends in the Spring or whenever I
can do so. I have in most instances where
it was practicable put up a Dozzen specimens
of each species and of some of the most interesting
a great many more: - With Numbers attached)
