          epsiode in prospect I concluded to wait
in hopes of being able to send you on my
return, specimens of Corema Conradii.
In company with a friend well experienced
in Gersey [Jersey] botanizing, I reached the place
at 2 P.M. of Thursday, & left at 7 A.M. of
next day. During that time we scoured
the neighborhood thoroughly, examining 
all the high ground within a mile 
or two each way. We found two
patches of bare white sand, corresponding 
most accurately with
the locations given in your paper
in Am. NY. Nat. Hist IV. 85, and 
I have every reason to believe they are
the same from which your plants were
taken, especially as in the whole course
of our search, we found no similar
spots. But I am sorry to have to 
report, that not a vestige of the 
plant remains in either place. Whether 
some of the collectors have eradicated
