My dear Sir,

I send you herewith a list of localities for 
the plants of 1844. Those for '43 I will send you
in a day or two as I did not wish to make
one such large package. These are simply
the descriptions annexed to the plant when first
taken but the greater part of these plants are
noticed repeatedly through all my journals, &
their localities extended with additional information
respecting them, but as I am 
much pressed for time & this list has
already amounted to fifty pages, I thought it
better to wait, until you ascertained what
plants could be recognized, when I will send
you the additional information. In the other
package the numbers go as high as 800, making
about 1500. Nearly all of the plants gathered on the
Kansas were not numbered. I was somewhat discouraged
by the accident to the others, you will
recognize these by the large number without labels.
If you could conveniently do so, it would give much
additional interest to my Report, were you to furnish
me with the botanical names of the grasses &
