Poor Chapman! Yes it is a burning shame that such a
staunch and loyal man should displaced. Oh
the greed of office seekers! I wish Brown University
was ready for a Prof. of Nat. [Natural] History or Botany. That
Corporation has not the graces to rovide a safe
resting place for my Herbarium & Botanical 
Library.

Now I believe I [added: have] commented in all topics suggested
by your letter of 10 & 11th.

You do not seem to have had mine of the 22
May before you when either of your letters of 10 or 11th
were written.

Please send me in letter a single perigynium
from the original specimen of Carex Jamesii]. I think
with John Cavey that if the Wilkes Ex. Ex. numbers are
to be carried to this specimen the character will have
to be rewritten and that even the description in
Part IV will not cover them.

I have seen Carex Wilkesii since I asked you
for the perigyniua so you need not send it.

Thank you for the use of your valuable
specimens of the Vericaciae group. These
shall be returned soon with a few sheets
from Wilkes returned for a more thorough ex. [examination]
