My dear Sir,

I have in the first place to thank you
for a most acceptable addition to my general herbarium
which was very deficient in N.A. [North American] plants.
I have in return sent you all the duplicates I
possess of the Cyperecea & I cannot but regret
that I have the opportunity, and I hope to be
enabled to send you many more of them & likewise
of the grasses [and?] some further [species?]. I have
numbered those species which I was not certain
of for a noble purpose, that if getting the name
from you, f you were acquainted with them, or
[if?] giving you the information when I [named?] if from
any other source. You mention in your letter to
Dr. Christy that you have a number of plants to
dispose of [?] were collected by the alte Dr.De 
Schweinitz in Florida [?]. I shall be most happy
to [?] some purchases of them, or of any other
that you may consider interesting as the note you
mention. You are kind enough to ask me what
are my favorite [vibes?]. I  feel is difficult to 
answer this question, as my love for them all just
increases in proportion to my knowledge of them.
