Dear Sir
Through Mr. [Hardy Bryan] Croom of Florida I am 
informed of your intention to publish "in the
course of a year" a new Flora of North America --
our intention which I concur with Mr. Croom, and indeed
with all American botanists, in hailing with great
pleasure; and in the perfection of which I should
be much gratified to contribute a mite however small

I therefore take the liberty of troubling you again
(I fear that I have already troubled you too frequently)
with this communication to say, that during my investigations
among the plants of this quarter, I have met
with several which, of heretofore described, have been
described so badly that I have had great difficulty
in making them out, and am now by no means satisfied
that I am correct in referring them to certain
species. Amony these doubtful plants of my collection
I will at present barely mention a Melica - Sagina 
Iresine - Spermacoce - Menispermum or Smilax [superscript: 2] - Hedeoma [superscript: 2]
- one or two asters - a solidago - Prenanthes - Polypodium
- a Trillium from La & Ga near akin to our common sessile though certainly distinct - a Rhamnus [superscript: 2]
Cardamine etc etc
