          I have a [added: little] grass from the western regions round
you Monroa squarrosa. What genus is it next
in affinity? I do not find it in Lindberg's Veg. Kingdom
stop to look into my volumes of the Pacific R.R. Explor. [Exploration]
which I have a full set 13 volumes. I have found
it. Page 158, 4th vol. Belongs to the Hordeaceal
I give much attention to the Carices, and have a 
full set of Boott's Illustrations, 4 vols. I have
about 300 species. But I have not got the
following, named in the 4th vol of [crossed out: R] P. R.R. Expl.
Carex decidea, Boott. C. lacinsiata. Boott, C. Halapensis
[Kenth?], C. Vesicaria, L. and C. propeingia Nees, et [?]
My herbarium grows slowly. I have only about
6000 species, and been working as it over a dozen
species. I have but very few plants west of the
Mis. [Mississippi] River, and only about 1600 from Europe.
I would be wonderful thankful for any favors
you might bestow upon me in the matter of
specimens from any quarter in the south,
or trans- Mississippi region, or from foreign
[?]. I am all the while at work in
natural science, my means allowing it. Any work
of a botanical nature you can give me to do,
either with or without, the microscope, would be
very willingly undertaken, and gratuitosly.
I send for a [carte?] in [their?], and [?][?][?]
will send [?][?].

I am Yours Truly

P.S. Recently I found in Stauber Co. Botrychium simplex Hitch. A few of the specimens [?] not over 
an inch long. Others 3 inches. InYates Co I found a few years ago Nordosmia falmata. Both of these
plants according to some Flora of New York of which I have a full set 21 volumes, very scarce
