          Manchester N.J. June 28th 1843


 My Dear Friend


 Yours of the 13th Inst. has
 been duly received. Mr. Schenck will be in
 Princeton tomorrow & will hand you a box containing
 a few recent plants.


 I could not
 procure the Hudsonia tomentosa for you, it
 is past flowering and I suppose would be no
 better than a dried speciment for drawing.


 You will find Vaccinium dumosum in young
 fruit & another species which I have not made
 out.


 Prinos glaber collected in a hurry, I know
 not whether the flowers are male & female or
 not.


 Andromeda squarrosa I don't know. I
 have added a few others which I thought might
 please you. The Drosera filiformis, D. longifolium
 & D. rotundifolia are intended for your
 Daughter Eliza.


 You say you expect
 Dr. Gray on the 4th July. & I thought I would
 send him a few seeds for the Botanic
 Garden I have only been able to put
 up the seed of C. livida, C. Barrattii, and
 C. exilis. these were collected today with the
 exception of C. livida which was collected a
 few days since.


 I hardly know how
 to leave Manchester long enough to travel
 with you, yet I will go & one time will suit
