 favourable result. - My time is fully occupied
 with my family & the care of the sick,
 at home & abroad for the present, and 
 I know not how much longer. -


 Always to hear from Dr. Gray & shall be 
 happy to hear of his safe return - What has
 become of Buckley? Has he recovered from
 his late illness?


 Have you thought of my little Rhynchospora -
 I sent a specimen to Rev. M. A. Curtis.
 He says that in general appearance it looks
 like R. filifolia and again like R. fasciccularis
 but differs from them in nut bristles etc. - and
 further says that he cannot refer it to any
 known species - I have prepared a detailed
 description of my plant, but it requires revising
 and if the species proves new I would like
 to name it R. Grayana, K. If the name
 is not preoccupied. - please show it to Dr
 Gray and let him examine and compare
 it with his collection of this genus. I have a
 hundred good specimens of it of which you
 may have as many as you wish. -


 Mr. Fields plants remain in status quo
 some prepared & some not I hoped
 to send them in regular parcels including
 all of the species of a genus together but could
 not arrange them in that way for want of 
 house [room?]. - Last week I received a
 choice bundle of Oneida Co. plants from
 My yound friend Mr George Vasey Mostly Carices
 among them C. leucoglochin & C. digitalis, which
 I had never collected  The former at Bear lakes.
