          The location of Valeriana sylvatica & Nelumbium is so
far from me that it is doubtful whether I can
visit them the exact time. Should you visit
this Country the latter part of July, come by the 
way of Sodus Bay, & look for Nelumbium. If possible
I will obtain some Glyceria from Ithaca, the only
locality I know of. NB [Nota bene]. Should you visit Oswego
get Lycopsis arvensis close to the old Fort, last of June 
or first July. I have sent you a few things not 
on the Cat. I gave Carey, because at that time
I did not know them to be natives of this region.
I hope they will be desiderata. I probably have
sent you many things you do not wish. If so,
perhaps your friends may want them.
You ask if I wish some good specimens of good European 
plants? In answer I say, I should be very
much pleased to receive them. As to the question
whether Gray has supplied me with the plants that
grow near the Sea Coast, I do not know. You
can tell by referring to the list I sent Carey.
If you have any Southern Carices or Grasses, they 
would please me more than any other thing
