My Dear Doctor Torrey

I returned by Express several
days ago your bundle of Carices all named
and a long time again another which in the 
fullness of time I may hope casually to be
informed arrived safely.

Le Roy's plant on looking at it again seems
to be C. [Carex] triceps Mx. [Michaux] not C. [Carex] [Senillisi?] Porter Mss.

Running in to my coll. [collection?] [Buaks?] plants I found
your labels represented plants as follows

C. group of C limosa was C. astutata
C [saxata?] [was] C. [vigida?]
C. stellaris [was] C. [vigida?]
C. pauciflora [was] C. [rariflora?]
C. Vahlii [was] C. alpina
C. pulla [was] C. saxatilis

Stevys heart was made glad yesterday AM
at breakfast table, by a letter from Miss Maggie
he felt some compunction of concern in not
having replied to a former letter : I observed
him slate in hand last[crossed out: ing] [added: evening] making a draft of
a letter which I suppose will be copied soon.

Health, peace, and plenty to you and yours. Truly yours Stephen T. Olney
