Pardon the trouble I give you in these matters another season I will
make it a point to look up the forms of this group growing about here.
I shall [crossed out: make] not be easily convinced that the Scirpus with a
remarkable three winged stem published by Gray last season
belongs to either [added: of the] before described American species.

I have good specimens of our common S. maritimus & its so called var S. fluviatis. I observe you have doubts about
referring this last to S. marit. Our respected friend [Casey?] kindly
offered to look into them and I shall furnish him with good
mature specimens of the two to do it with.

I would send the Carex alluded to in my former letter
in this, but I dislike to bend it up for a letter; the
more so as I have only a specimen left having between
the time my last letter was written and the receipt of your
valued answer sent the other to Prof. Dewey who had
offered to look over a set of my R. I. Carices and give
me his names for them. I will send it in a package
by and bye I call it a var of C. pelleta.

I have a polygonum which Casey thinks new. We first
Observed it if I recollect rightly at Bellows Falls
