          prise & mortification they had left Manchester
 before I could see them and learned too
 that they were not going directly to Princeton
 but by way of Allentown and in all probability
 to stay over night - So in that matter I was
 disappointed as well as in sending Mr. Fields Plants
 I think I informed you that I had been at
 Howell Works and that I found abundance of
 Quercus Jaleata in that vicinity and a few
 other plants not previously found in New Jersey ^ [inserted: by myself.]
 I sent you some Rhynchospora fusca, Wahl
 which [crossed out: I think] is the Similar [Pure?] (I think) and
 no mistake and what is most singular it
 occurs in hundreds and in a locality too
 which I have passed over not less than 50
 times last year & year before without finding
 it - My Florula Homo Cestrica has already acquired
 many additions & I hope to add many more
 We are all well here and without [occasionally?]
 a cut to other wound to manage ^ [inserted: [there?] would be
 slim practizing here - We have the greatest
 quantities of Huckleberries ripening - In a
 few days they will be ripe enough to
 pick - I have just been perplexed with a specimen
 of which I can find no description in the books
 _ Mr Torrey's family all well


 Yours truly in great haste
