          the Lyceum Room or to Mr. Thorburn's,
at one of which places you 
will be likely to find it. The box
will probably be sent to Northampton
soon, but when it will arrive in New York, is uncertain. I hope
to be more active in collecting plants the present year than I
was the last.
The Buxbaumia aphylla which you
request, I am not so fortunate as
to know. In my [newest?] collection
of British Mosses put up by Mr.
Drummond, this is one of the few,
that are wanting. Do send me a
specimen for I have long wished
to see it. If it grows here, you may
then expect me to collect a quantity
for you. Your letter, I believe,
did not reach me till fall, when
it was too late to do much for
botany.
