My Dear Doct [Doctor] Torrey

I wrote you on 17th returned a
bundle of Carices that day.

I send by Express today a small bundle
(Express paid) containing the specimens of
vesicaviae [Carex vesicariae?] group.
These are much more satisfactorilly arranged then [than] when
I returned yur full set of Carices

To them I added the three species with Bootts
renewal of [Kunltes?] protest.

If the plant "guessed" C. scita [Carex scita] had the lower [sheathless?]
leaves I could identify it.

"guess" C. cryptocarpa [Carex cryptocarpa] or " C. Sitchensis [Carex sitchensis]
might be added".

Also some bits of things from Dewey found among
your plants.

I have nothing in Carex of plants belonging to you
but but the ["]Sheet of Drawings of Michaux Carices"
and two plants received from you in your last bundle
which I beg you will let me retain [?]
1st Sheet C. aperta [Carex aperta] Boott!
2nd  " C. Woodii [Carex hoodii] Boott!

Turning to my memo of your Herb. [Herbarium] you have Woodii [Carex woodii]
from 3 localities besides the Cal [California?] I sent you & aperta [Carex aperta] from
several localities.
