Dr. [Dear] Sir,

At the date of my last letter, I did not know
positively that the Specimens of plants prepared
for you had agreeably to my wishes forwarded to 
New Orleans. I have since learned that Lt 
Henry took charge of them & I presume shipped
them in conformity with my intentions & I
hope they have been received by you before
this time. I enclose in the pamphlet a number
of small plants which I trust may prove
interesting to you. I have met with a species
of Ranunculus & also an Erigeron which I have
but little doubt are undescribed.

Sincerely Yours,
