          The Michigan Solidago, I can make nothing 
of. You will please give me a name, also, some small
Cyperous plants from Illinois, & whatever names you
find wrong. I wish you to correct & inform me of
the same. Should health permit, I can probably
collect a few more next season. 
How do you progress in the State Survey? and 
in what parts have you been collecting this 
Season? Have you found any or many new things
and what are they? Will you explore this region
of Country next Summer? I think there must
be a large unexplored & fertile field for the botanist
in the Southern tier of countries, bordering on the
Pennsylvania line. The country is there broken 
and hilly & the climate seems different from this tho. [though] 
only 40 or 50 miles distant.
Please write me on the rect. [receipt] of this bundle & let
me know whether or not it contains any desiderata.

I am, Sir, with respect
H.P. Sartwell

P.S. Is Coreopsis tripteris, a native of this State?
