          Wm Chapman of Quincy Florida who promises
 me some fine Cyperaceae but cannot send them
 soon. - He informs me he is about removing
 to Apalachicola where he wishes me to address
 him hereafter. -


 The parcel from Olney has not yet
 arrived. it may however be on the way &
 if it is will probably come in due time.


 My son Lewis is at No. 223 Houston, St.
 in a Druggist Store. He has been there only
 a little more than a week. - If you
 should happen in that part of the town
 please call and give him an encouraging
 word - I suspect he is rather homesick.


 I am getting on as comfortably as could be
 expected in parcelling plants. I was obliged
 to engage in the shool for 'Bread &Pork'
 and so I manage to get up before day and
 to work late at night. - -


 Suppose you have noticed the Death
 of Dr. Houghton by drowning some time since?


 Dewey has found a new Carex among a suite
 that Vasey has sent him collected in the
 locality where C. flexilis is found (near Rome
 I suppose) Vasey says it looks much like
 a specimen of C. Sullivantii tha Dewey gave
 him, - He tells me he only found or
 rather had only 3 specimens and they were
 very young. - May be new?? to Prof. Dewey??
