          When we know its cost I will remit the money to the 
 Mess. Penfold for it. Mr. Green has numbered plants Nos. 1 to 5
 which he wishes you to give me the names of; he has
 duplicates and does not know them. He is studying Medicine,
 and much pleased with Botany, which he will obtain a
 good knowledge of sooner than I shall, I fear (judging
 from his Industry). Should you find any specimens in the box
 which you are able to recognise as of different genera or
 species from any upon either of the Catalogues forwarded
 & in your possession, [added: of mine] please to let me know what they
 are. And should you have any specimens on hand to give
 away (after supplying your particular friends), do me the
 favour to send a few to Dr. C. W. Short of Kentucky
 and I shall thereby, be more than compensated for all
 I can do for you hereafter. I will endeavour to put
 up specimens with more care hereafter. I send  [added: to] you, all
 that I had, from N.C. [North Carolina] & Geo. [Georgia] collections. The one most
 interesting among them is, what I take for a Cynoglossum?
 which had flowers, variegated with red, purple & blue colours;
 I have called one plant a Corallorhiza, which may be a 
 [Habenaria?]? The flowere were nearly green, & of a fine aromatic
 odour; grows in Marshes. Dr. Pickering says we have not the
 [illegible] [added: from N.C.]. What do you call it? The Hypericum amoenum 
 is a very ornamental flowering plant here, among the
 Hydrangeas & Kulinias, [Calouniuthas?] & upon the Rocky River Shore.
