Dr Torrey

Dear Sir

I should regret losing
the present opportunity, so I send you
something at hasard. I shall be obliged
to you for names, corrections &c. which
you can transmit by mail or by
Mr. Spencer, the gentleman who has
taken charge of the plants. He will
return soon, and I will thank you 
to send by him a few ferns, if you
have them to spare. I have made excursions
among the prairies since I wrote
you, and could considerably enlarge
the catalogue I sent you, if I had
time before Mr Spencer will leave.

Yours truly
John L. Riddell
