Dear Sir,

Some three weeks since
I addressed you a circular in reference 
to a work I am about publishing
have [?] upon an English one often
[?][?] "New of the time in 1852" and
requesting a short biographical sketch
of yourself and a list of the botanical
works you have pub. in accordance
with the specimens annexed. Prof. Gray
has already granted the [fruits?] in his
own case. May I again beg the same
[?] from you. May I trespass upon
your time and [?] so far as to ask
you to point out any person or sources [added: in this country]
[?] whence I can obtain a biographical
sketch of Prof. Lindley for the same purpose.

Yours very truly,
J.H. Redfield

Prof. John Torrey
