          bullata of Schkuhr - ought not Boott's name to be
adopted for the other plant? I hope it will not put
you to any trouble - but I cannot but think you will
consider my interest in a question in which I at least
supposed myself to be sustained by Schweinitz himself,
by your, and by Boott, to be pardonable.
Many thanks for your kind notices of my publica-
tions in your great Flora of N.Y. It is these things
that encourage botanists, and students of every kind.
But they seem to be getting old-fashioned in this new
age, and young botanists myst shift for for themselves,
or contend for what they think they have a right to.
Excuse my troubling you with this long letter
on so personal a matter - A line will be valued
most highly by yours m. respy + sincerely
