Camp Sabine La., August 3d 1837

Dr [Dear] Sir,

I forward my catalogue for July which I trust 
you will find interesting. I have embraced in this & the 
catalogues of former months all the plants that 
I know to exist in La or the adjacent country of Texas. 
My collections with those of Drummond & others will 
give you a pretty good idea of the plants of La & Texas 
but I am convinced that much remains undone especially 
upon this frontier. During the past month I have 
traveled 4 days in Texas, embracing a circuit of 
120 miles, ¾ths of this distance in the region of the 
long leaf pine (Pinus palustris, very improperly so called, 
as it grow [grows] even at the sumit [summit] of high ridges).

I have lately made the acquaintance of Dr. Veatch 
living near Zavala, Texas, who has a taste for botany 
& a considerable knowledge of plants. I expect considerable 
assistance from him in & exploring the [?] woods. 
He expects to visit soon that portion of the sea board 
between lake Sabine and the mouth of the Trinity. 
It must be an interesting region & is totaly [totally] unexplored 
by Botanists.

Respectfully 
yrs [yours] MC Leavenworth
