Dear Dr.

Yours of the 13th [inst?] came 
duly to hand.
I had previously heard with
regret that you are unwell. I
hope by this time you are quite well.
I determined that plant I sent
you after it was gone to my satisfaction
although I did not come
to the same conclusion as yourself.
I found in Dr. Grays Herb. No. 3530
of [Nallich's?] catalogue which is the
same as my specimens and is
described by Nees as [?] andria
funca, (see Kanth 2.249) You
probably have A. [Uragrortis?] on
comparison of the two you will not
fail to notice a strong family likeness.
It was so unlike all forms
of Cyperus [?] that I have seen
thus I did not think of [inferring?] it
