          these, with Mr. Nuttall's two discoveries of last summer,
and Galium vernum from a new station, and one or
two other plants are all I can set together, that
with any excuse, I can venture to send. But I
hope you will not be unwilling to take the will
for the deed.
There is also in the parcel a copy of the recently
published article in the journal of the Boston Soc.
Nat. Hist., on Lichenes - which I have taken the 
liberty to inscribe to Dr. Gray. Would it be
satisfactory to him to recieve any of my alpine
plants? I am desirous to obtain a few [added: plants] from
him for my collection, if it would be of any
object to him to recieve what I can send in return.
If I may particularire, a few Carices would
be a much valued acquisition, and I should not
care what species they were, for the most common
are as difficult as the most rare. If there is anything
of the White Mountain plants that he would wish,
it would gratify me to put them up. But I
would not by any means take up his time with the
drudgery of putting up specimens, unless there is something
that I can send him return.
