          Perhaps you could spare me some or put me
 in the way of getting all the following species of
 Rhynchospora which are yet wanting in my herbarium
 Viz. R. miliacea, R. patula, R. punctata R. corniculata R. dodecandra
 R. oligantha, R. semiplumosa, & R. distans. By your help
 and the favours of [?] Carpenter, Buckley, a Curtis I have 
 tolerable fair specimens of all the rest and I must
 try to find one or two more new ones this season
 by the bye, I have found a new locality a mile or
 two up the little stream of Paint Hollow where my
 new Rhynshospora is quite abundant, though this may
 be only a continuation of the same locality as I did
 not trace it all the way to find the connecting link


 Thus far I have only found it where Bog Ore has
 been worked on the wet or damp borders of the
 named stream - At this season I only find the
 dead plant which is easily recognized and short green sprouts
 at the roots which hardly touch the ground and whether
 they will live to take root will be determined hereafter.


 I have written to George Vasey to get if possible a
 few roots of Pyrola uliginosa and forward them to
 your brother in New York in a living state, and
 I think it will be done cheefully - He will give
 you due notice when the box starts from Oriskany


 I feel obliged for the information where R. cymosa
 may be found - I will put Willis on the track


 All well at present 


 Believe me sincerely yours


 Many thanks for the loan of your dryup -
