          Asked you whose collecting were the sub arctic
Carices sent to name, and if to be returned?

Asked you to make an enquiry of Thurber
which my letter sent in my last to you did
and whichh he has not answered.

I have had the 2nd [crossed out: Powells] [added: C. King's] Ex. [Expedition] Carices
186q S Watson [Sereno Watson] Botanist to examine

Also a small number from the Canada side
of Lake Superior from Macoun.

Alphonso Wood wrote he intended 
to send me his Car [Carices] & [?] [?] Wrote him
I should be pleased to see them, but they
have not come not important to me however
whether they come or no.

Yours truly
Stephen T. Olney
