          [inserted: [Beautiful new Physcomitrium - with a long hair
I lately found a beautiful little moss fruiting specimens
of which I have vainly sought in Texas. These have
abundant fruit I want very much to send [Sullivant?] a
specimen but it is not dry. I believe I'll risk it though
I fear it is not mature enough and after all it may
be some common Northern plant.

I have just received a letterfrom Linaheimer in which
he announces some new discoveries ([Eng. auct.?])

I picked up another Alga the other day. It grows on
the [naked?] argillaceous flats of the Rio Grande valley.

We fear that the last mail with its carrier has
fallen a victim to the Indians. We have ceased to look
for it.

Truly Yours,
Charles Wright
