          I shall be happy to know of Doct. Gray's
arrival in safety from Europe & hope his
labrious researches may have been
as satisfactory to himself as these results.
I trust will be elucidating [?] botany
I presume it will not be long after his
arrival before the 3rd No. of the Flora will 
be published.

Some time last summer I need 1-2-3 & the 
4 Nos. of Vol. 4 of the New York Annals of the Lyceum &
would think to have the subsequent numbers as they
are published sent to me by mail. Could you
without inconvenience request the publisher
to forward them.

Dear sir
respectfully
truly your
Thomas G. Lea
