          botanical account which would be deferred
with the next report.

I think that S. odorata is the best name
for the tree, as its fragrance is very
delightful & remarkable.

I am making every effort to get out at the 
end of this month but am very much
pressed by business. I find it difficult to
restrain my impatiance [impatience] when I see every
thing coming into bloom & remember how 
many beautiful things for us beyond the 
Mississippi. In the mean time I am 
organizing my camp on the frontier and
collecting my horses there. I go out this
time well equipped. I have some beautiful
instruments and my longitudes will not
have any longer to depend much on
chromometers. I will either send you a
proof of a copy of the map before I
leave. I hope that I shall have 
an early reply to the question in this
& in the meantime remain very
respectfully & truly yours
J.C. Frémont
