          making extensive collections or good specimens.

Should Mr. Lundgren be inclined to undertake
this business, it would be well that he should be furnished
by Mr. Carey and Dr. Gray, both of whom I believe have visited
these mountains, with specific directions as to his route, and
the more promising localities; and the sooner he sets off the
better, that he may be ready for the first unfolding of vegetation,
at a season when perhaps no Botanist except Michaux, 
has ever been there.

You will please consider this matter, and
connect with the gentlemen I have mentioned on the subject. 
I am prepared at any moment to make the pecuniary 
advances.

very truly, my dear Sir,
I am yours
