          I inclose a specimen of the scleria which I
 thought might prove to be the Scleria ciliata?
 Please examine & report. - I sent you a Festuca
 in a letter or a paper not long since. Did
 you get it? What is it? You Kindly
 offered to procure me paper to put up
 specimens in This is very kind particularly
 at this time when I need it so much having
 cut up almost every brown & newspaper I could
 lay hold of for that purpose -


 If you could procure several reams and
 have it cut ^ [into half sheets.] the same size that I now use
 it would save me much trouble & loss of time
 The lightest and most common paper if only
 smooth will do as well as any. -


 If it could be sent to the Steam
 Boat Orus at Fulton Market Slip, N.Y.
 addressed to me ^ {at manhattan] Care of Stephen Garrison
 Stage Driver between Red bank and
 Manchester I would get it without
 delay - The size I use is 12 by 17 inches


 Any word from Fremont ?


 Where is our friend Holton?


 Many thanks for the apples sent
 by Miss Eliza


 Very truly yours
