Spet. [26] 1834
To Dr. John Torrey

Sir, feeling on common with others a [ ] interest in the work which you are engaged in puting forth the world I have ventured, through without the night which personal acquain tance canfers, to submit to you a few observations upon the plants of some sections of the country - Many of them may have been already communicated to you and will therefore serve no purpose but as cumulative evidence - The subjoined list of plants contained in my herbarium which Dr. Beck has not created to the New England States. Many of them are so common that it is matter of surprise 
this part of the country should not have been included in the
ities to which they are preferred- The places in which they were collected are set down opposite the names of the plants - I also add a few of those which I judge from Elliott to be curcumscribed in their habitat-collected during a years residence in the village of Limestone Springs, Spartanburgh District S.C.

Yours very respectfully
E. Rowland
