I have not observed elsewhere.

I have met with a few rare plants since my last. 
Among these are good specimens of the Podostegma pubescens [Podostigma pubescens] 
Elliott & some of the Cyperaceae. I will toward fall 
forward you such collections as may be in my 
power. They can readily forwarded to Charston [Charleston] if not 
to N. York. Will you please to name some individual 
in Charlston [Charleston] to whom I may forward them.

My copies of your Flora you will please forward 
to the care of A.H. Col, Esqr. Sutler [crossed out: Bla] Fort Hieleman [Fort Heileman]
Black Creek, E.F. The one directed to myself at 
Micanopi [Micanopy] E. [East] Florida, the other to Chas. [Charles] McCormick MD 
Asst. Surgn. [Assistant Surgeon] U.S. Army, which Mr. Cole will forward 
to his stations of which I am not a present precisely 
but know that it is on the this side of the Territory 
all that can be done in obtaining subscriptions 
for your work shall be done. I know that under 
the best auspices that the work will not afford 
you any pecuniary compensation which would 
pay you for the labour bestowed. I think myself 
authorized to request you to forward a copy of 
your work to P.H. Gray, MD, Surgeon, US Army at 
Fort Jesup La. [Louisiana]. Should he not take it I will myself 
be responsible for it whenever your many avocations 
permit you to write I shall be extremely 
sappy to hear from you. Verry truly
