My Dear Friend

I send you today a small
package of plants, some of those you collected when
you were here. There are still some behind which
I have not found in overhauling my Big Bundles
Some of these I have numbered to correspond
with the numbers attached to the roots sent to
Dr. Gray & Sir Wm J. that you may inform the
latter gentlemen what those plants are I could not
satifactorily determine myself. I suppose that the
boxes are in New York by this time and perhaps
on their way to their final destination. They were
sent in the Christopher Columbus and probably
reached New York on Saturday or Sunday last.

Those intended to clear up the doubts of
those plants sent in the boxes are marked
No. 1. No. 2. etc. Those intended to inquire only
for my own satisfaction and not sent in the
boxes are marked A. No. 1. A. No. 2. etc. You
will please send me the names of all
the numbered specimens.

I have given
Mr Wm Torrey a paper requesting you to procure
me some good Vaccine Matter & send it soon
by the first opportunity also a small quantity
of Printing ink for printing labels etc.

Believe me truly yours

P D Knieskern
