 My Dear Friend


 Your letter in answer to mine of
 the 2nd Inst. came to hand yesterday. - Have been unwell
 for a week but am better. Hard at work at
 labelling & arranging & parcelling my plants - got through
 with the Cyperaceae except the Carices and if you
 do not like to pass sentence upon the parcel I sent
 you, you may if you please send them to Tuckerman.
 I wish to consult you ^ [inserted: on] too on two or
 three Eleocharis species of which I will inclose
 specimens for your inspections - Enc No 1 is form Oriskany
 - Chittenango - the other grows here in the greatest profusion
 The Eleocharis microstata from near Cedar Bridge is identical
 with that found on the road to Quaker Bridge
 from Washington Tavern, when in company with yourself
 & daughter, precisely at the point where we
 left the Quaker Bridge road & got upon the
 road that took us to Hampton Gate - The
 locality at or near Cedar Bridge is not likely to
 be soon exhausted for it occupies nearly or quite
 an area of low swamply gound not likely to
 be destroyed by fire -


 Yesteday I received a letter from our old
 acquaintance Dr. I. B. Craw in answer to my last
 to him which i wrote more than three years since
 He promises to send me what I then asked him
 for as far as he is able
