 My Dear old Friend -


 I am here attending
 Court for your brother and on account 
 of absence from home shall loose the
 opportunity of sending by mail from Manchester
 this week. - I would perhaps
 not have troubled you at this time
 had I not very recently discovered the
 Rhynchospora Knieskernii, at Manchester
 which I thought might be interesting to
 you - Though my vanity might be 
 a little tickled by the above name
 I think that Rhynchospora capitata would
 be more appropriate -.


 Please examine this and let me hear
 from you by the next mail -


 Today on my way here I found a
 Melanthaceous plant which I have not
 yet been able to determine -


 I also met with a Carex here 
 that looks like C. crinita but too old
 and much stouter than I have usually
 seen it - Perhaps you can tell by the seed
