My Dear Sir!

I send you a few more more of
those plants which you collected when on
a visit to this place. I think these are
all you left; In moving them three times
I had mislaid them so that I could not
lay my hands on them at pleasure. Are
there any other Jersey plants you would
be glad to obtain? If so please inform
me soon & I will lay them aside for you.

I have taken the liberty again to trouble 
you to name a few Carices for me; If
convenient I would like to have the
names soon; as I am preparing labels for
them as fast as I can: Prof Carpenter's
Box came safely to hand. It contained a
great number of species of plant but few
duplicates. About 60 specimens of Gramineae &
Cyperaceae two or three Carices which I had
not seen before Carex stenolepis C. Floridana
C. glaucescens & C. [?]. I have not
counted the Flowering Plants but think
there may be two or three hundred
species, very acceptable.

I wanted
some printing ink  very much and
requested Mr. Wm Torrey to bring me 
some & I think I requested him to
ask you if you pleased to procure a
small quantity.

I received the Pamphlets
you kindly sent me, have read
most of them.  Just received the two
last Nos. of Lillimans Journal, which
is always acceptable. Will you please
send me by Mr. Schenck that part of the
Lyceum Papers which treats on Testaceae
& I will return them in due time
