          I put into my Herb. [Herbarium] today your carics [carices]

If: 55. are all like my specimens they are what Boott called
C. propinqua [Carex propinqua] and that he seems inclined to follow
say a [Dew.?] in referring to C. festiva Dewey [Carex festiva Dewey] see Ill.
part 4, but not indexed. I think you must have been
C. mirabilis Dew [Carex mirabilis Dew]!

548. Is too small a spec.[specimen] in my set to name
545. C. alucutata [Carex alucutata] I shall refer to again when I get
through examining [vericanae?]

Thank you for C. Amulthrogucha Desc. I found a mate
to it in the King Ex. [King Expedition] plants Maybe I doubt its difference from
C. [lumiginosa?] Mx.

Let McMinns Carex be for awhile when you
want me particularly to examine them for you.

How glad I should be to get a letter from Gray. Are 
you sending him any plants. I may have a few
Carics to send him for comparison. I may possibly
spend a month or two in England within a 
year.

I had a letter from Wright, but he is not apunctual correspondent; he dint [didn't] answer my enqueries.

I am afraid you overestimate my notes on
Carex.

God bless you and yours
