 Dear Sir


 Your highly estemed [esteemed] favor of 26th ult. making 
 some observation on the plants I sent you by Mr Ludington
  was received a few days since. Agreeably to your 
 request I have made up another parcel containing 
 such [added: plants] as you desired, together with some others which 
 I wish you to examine for me. The packet 
 I have sent to Rochester to the care of Rev. C. Dewy 
 who will forward it to you. I hope you will
 soon receive it, and find its contents interesting. 


 I have not received the 3rd or 4th parts of the 
 "Flora" although I paid the Messrs. [Carvills?] five dollars 
 on account of my subscription, which will pay for 
 the whole within one dollar which I now enclose to 
 you. The work was to be sent me by mail and I 
 received the 2nd part in that way. Will you be so 
 good as to see that the other numbers are sent, for 
 I am very anxious to receive them as soon as they 
 are published. 


 Mr. Ludington has promised to send me a copy of 
 your Geological Report. Can you spare me a 
 copy of that part of the Annals of the NY Lyceum 
 which contains your [crossed out: illegible] description of the 
 grasses &c [etc]? It may be sent by mail. 


 Respectfully
 I. A. Lapham
