          in Gray's former edition. I wish Mr. Sullivant
was more attentive. I sent him some
eighteen months or more a letter full of
what I thought would interest him but not
a word in reply have I received.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Gray a few
moments some time last winter and was
much pleased with his friendly kind & 
gentle manner. At that interview the question
was started what is "the Tuckahoe?
Dr. Gray stated that Dr. Torrey had analyzed
it some years ago. This was all the information
that was then elicited. Is it not
what Schweinitz calls Sclerotium Cocos?
[crossed out: Paczderma] Cocos of Fries? Hoping you will
not forget me.

I remain as ever
Yours most trule
