          and life and health be spared him. -
 I shall be cramped for drying paper amd must
 continue some way to lay be a little money for
 that purpose when I get it - If matters do
 not soon assume a more favorable turn I shall
 be obliged soon to look for a more profitable
 birth for the pay I get for any services here which
 ought to furnish me with a comfortable support
 will hardly feed my family if they needed nothing
 else - The business indeed is more at my disposal
 but the compensation is worse -


 I wonder what the Dr. (Gray) has done with my
 new Rhynchospora? I have not heard of its publication?
 - Do you remember the locality of
 Rhynchosopra cymosa near Princeton as stated by
 Dr. Grayin his Monograph Rhynchosopra of North
 America? - Is it abundant? - I wish very much
 to obtain a suite of specimens. - I made some
 inquities in the bundle of Mr. Field's Plants respecting
 the two forms of Rhynchospora that
 we found on out trip last summer which
 we took for granted was R. Torryana, The
 small form was afterwards met with in this
 region in some three or four localities, but
 unusually with [fineflowered?] heads and of a 
 different shade of colour - The two forms are
 sent for your examination on which I should
 be glad to have your report. - I will send
 you what specimens of Struthiopteris I can spare
 when I send you more of Mr Fields plants. -
