Dear Sir

By the bearer of this Mr. Moore a merchant
of this place I send you a list of sundry plants
collected chiefly in & west of the Alleghany Mountains
It was my intention also to send you specimens
of several species at this time — but a great pressure
of engagements has prevented me from copying descriptions
& putting up specimens — I will endeavor to attend to attend to
it soon & embrace the first opportunity of sending them
to you — I have recently received a Valeniana from
Mr. John Samples which was found by him a year
of two since near Urbana O. I think it an undescribed
species — I have noticed it in the list, but without a 
specific name — I will endeavor to procure a specimen
for you, or induce Mr. Samples to sent you one.

Your letter dated July 12th was received July 16th — Part II
of the Flora I obtained from Mr. Whitney, as I had paid
for it previously in N.Y. to the publishers by Dr. Day I did
not pay to Mr. Whiting — but promised him that if any
difficulty should occur I would also pay to him — I mention
this because I am not aware of the nature of the arrangement
between you & your publishers — Dr McClelland passed
through this place a few weeks since & informed me that
he should call on Mr. Whitney for the Flora —
