          I shall send you specimens of this and think of distributing it
with printed labels as Polygonum Caseyi (ns) from R.I.

Somehow I have an impression that Casey is with you if so
will you mention to him that I was right about azalea glauca
& vaccinium hirtellum and that we have them in South Kingston
R.I. when they were first [crossed out: observed] [added: discovered] and brought to me for names
by a most indefatigable collector my friend Mr. Geo.[George] Kent.

There were forty spec.[specimens] of Carex on our list last year. I hope to add
the names of from 10 to 15 more spec. [specimens] this among them C. subulata
Cypress swamp S. Kingston & C. disperma same locality.

Finally I have a plant belonging to the tribe Cyperaceae which
is not proper for a letter it matures its fruit early in July
and was brought to me by Kent. I will send a spec.[specimen.]

Very truly your friend
S.T. Olney
