          I have found several Asters, Solidagos and other Compositae
 plants that I have not determined. 
 I think I have not detected more than about six of seven
 hundred indigenous plants in this part of the state. Then 
 Eastern part affords a greater number of different species 
 I have detected about one thousand different 
 indigenous species in the state, a list of the Ferns that
 I have detected will be furnished to you at any time. 
 Lygodium palmatum, Botrychium gracile, are among the
 rarest that I have met with. 
 Please except [accept] my thanks for your kindness in offering 
 to assist me, and consider me as 
                                               Your Most obedient &c.
