          a parcel containing all the species I am now able to 
furnish, and inclusing six species (as I regard them) new
as species to the herbarium - + all from the Northern
States.
I addressed you a letter shortly after the receipt
of the specimens, with several inquiries - which I
suppose failed to reach you. With the help of
Sir. W.J. Hooker's collection, + other investigations
of my own, I have been able to satisfy myself
in regard to these points; and believe there is no-
thing of importance remaining to lay before you.
Hoping you will accept the species sent
as some ammends for the injuring I unintention - 
ally occasioned to the specimens - + that you will
find the collections in as good order, in other respects,
as they were when I recieved them.
I am with respect
Yours

Edward Tuckerman.
