Dr. John Torrey

Dear Sir - permit me to
trouble you once more, to correct a mistake about
the books. I wrote you I had the first 6 vols of de Candolle' 
Prodromus [Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis] this is an error I have only the first 5 vols [?]
had forgotten. The box containing them has since arrived.
I would not trouble you to have the set completed for me
as far as published if I could do it any other way. Ordering
European books through our booksellers is a tedious and very uncertain
business as I have experienced. In the same box
I received the four pamphlets you sent me - viz - your [mong.?] of 
[?], a [note?] on the genus Torrya, Gray on [Cerato.?]
& [Cronis] Catalog - for which receive my [?] thanks
Mr. Whiting our bookseller tells me if the box containing the
new Flora had reached heree he could have had at
least 20 [?]. This looks fair.

Yours very respectfully

Wm. S. Sullivant
