          He says he hopes I will make the sets as interesting
 as possible as they will go to some of the best foreign
 Herbaria. -


 Vesy sent me a Carex some time since from
 near Rome Oneida Co. which he collected from
 the the C. flexilis locality - I did not recognize it
 at all as an old acquaintance but in a subsequent
 letter from him he tells me that he sent specimens
 to Prof. Dewey, that the Prof. thought it was new
 but had received it from me before - This may
 be so for I repeatedly sent Caracies to the Prof. and I
 declined naming one or more specimens - The
 specimens Vasey sent me I inclosed to Tuckerman
 and he has forwarded it to Boott without
 himself hazzarding an opinion promising me to
 forward Boott's decision as soon as obtained


 The specimen is immature and looks more
 like C. Sullivantii than anything else I have -


 I of course requested friend Vasey to keep a
 good lookout for the plant next season, which
 he will no doubt attend to. -


 What has become of our Friend Rev. Mr. Holton?
 He wrote me a hurried letter, and sent me a
 parcel of plants about New Year's day, and I understood
 from his letter that he would probably soon
 leave Princeton. - He requested me to send anything
 for him to your care - I have some things
 ready which I will send by the first favourable opportunity.
