          And [Fri?]

What an honor to be able 
to make one such a list of
persons to whome one may
sand. I do not expect to
do any thing more at Botany
except continue my study of
Lichens & therefore I am
the more anxious to send to 
everyone whose politeness or whose
kindness I have to acknowledge.
I am sorry Dr. Torrey has still 
left my letter unnoticed as
well as my book but I have
no doubt he has reasons for it 
though I cannot imagine what 
they are. I shall ask him myself
how he [does?] before long. I [?]
as my old [?] as [?].
