Dear Doctor:

Dr. Gray, writing to me on the 
16th ult. [ultimo] in allusion to those desiderata 
for Godet, says you are 
prone to forget things and that I 
must "nudge" you. I shall be 
sending a box of things pretty soon, 
Cuban fungi &c., and it will be a 
good chance to put in some for Godet, 
if we can get together the greater part 
of them. Did you apply to Canby? Dr. 
G. [Gray] thought that with this help alone
I could probably nearly or quite fill
the list.

He has not written me when he 
will start home; but Mr. Loring tells 
me it will be on the 9th Nov. He says
Mrs. G. [Gray] is better.

Thurber was here with Guerneau
about a week ago.

We are getting our things into the
