When I go to New York I shall certainly call on you
and thank you for the cordial invitation for bed
and board and it may be accept both. I have
not been there for Eighteen months or more. The 
frequency of attacks of head aches, makes me inclined
to have all the resources of home at my command.
I have been free from them nearly a week, but then
the last one was the scariest of all..

I hope that the Carics sent back to you
Jany 24 went safely, and that the scale 1/5 metre
did not get broken in transmission.

I sent to Brown yesterday a list of
his collections of California Carics : and should 
send Bolander a copy soon. Should have been 
pleased to have seen the Carics from your Herbarium
that I asked for Feb 19 vis

Carex Emoryi [emoryi]
[Carex] triquetra 
[Carex] [arenticola?]

before I had done this the Californicus number
72 species of which 10 are new (8 of nine
& 2 of Boott [?])

Strange that C triquetra does not occur but
in so few collections : besides the two in your
Herb. [Herbarium] [vs.] Upper California Nuttall
Mts. E. of San Diego CC Parry (C arenticola)
I have seen it only from another collector in
San Barbara or San Diego. Bootts Ill. Pat
IV cites a table 417 as illustrating this
