          I have not seen Fremont's Report though
 I sent to our Member of Congress to secure me
 a copy if possible - The Pamphlets you
 inquire after are here and shall be forwarded
 by the first opportunity -


 I have not seen Mr. Bush since last Fall
 he is very busy in the erection of a New Church
 in Egypt. - Sorry the box of plants were
 of no service to you. - They were primarily sent
 to show the abnormal forms of Carex exilis
 and C. livida - But I have good specimens
 of the same dried which I will send before
 long - I must wind up, though I wish
 to say a great deal more - I have several
 other letters to write before the mail comes
 which may be along in less than [an?] hour!


 Yours truly

 Why may I not find the Knieskernia
 in Jefferson, Co. or on my way there. I suppose
 that a very diminutive plant would
 answer the purpose as well as any for me?
