Dear Sir,

On the 24th Inst. I received 
the packet of specimens mentioned
in your letter of October 1st, and for
the use of which I am very greatly
obliged to you. I have returned the whole
of them, after carefully examining
them, and taking sketches of some; for
though I suppose that you intended
me to keep a part, yet as my herbarium
is of a very limited description,

Dr Torrey
