          and shall send them early this fall. Some 
on your list I could not get, perhaps I will 
next season. I visited the locality of Valeriana 
sylvatica this season & obtained a good supply, also 
Magnolia acuminata, Pteris gracilis, &c. Do you 
want any more of the little Primula I sent you 
last year? N.B. While I think of it. I sent a number 
of plants to you with requests for names, some 
grasses, &c. I believe you have never named them
as yet. Perhaps want of time may be the reason.

I regret that Dr. Gray has resigned his situation in
the Exp. Exp. [Exploring Expedition] for I had supposed that his researches
would add much to botanical science. On the other
hand, I rejoiced a little that he is going to Michigan,
as he will probably be my neighbor, & then we 
can be coworkers in the botanical field. 
I have collected a good many plants this season, but very 
few that I had not found before. I will send you a list
of plants found here that I knew not grew here before.
Perhaps you may wish some of them. When practicable
I collected quite a number of duplicates.
