it not be well for him to leave New York by the end of this
month? A friend passing by Ashville, N.C. last spring, early
in May, brought me specimens, in flower, Af andromeda
axillaris and the Diphyllea.

I thank Mr. L. for the set of his mosses which
he has been so good as to put up for me, and I will with
great pleasure add them to my Herbarium. I will ascertain
some mode of getting them from N.Y. of which you shall
be informed.

Very respectfully and truly, my dear Sir,
I am yours
C.W.  Short.

Profr. Torrey,
New York.
