Prof. Gray

My dear Sir,

Dr. Boott desires me to say to you
that Bentham is in London en route for Germany,
Petersburg, Moscow, Constantinople, Greece & Italy
with his wife. He has just finished the [Labiates for
DeCardolles prodromas] He returns to England next Summer.

In your harried call the other morning, I had hardly
time to thank you for what you are doing for me—

For may consider me as subscribing for two mono
copies of your forthcoming Genera if you can dispose
of them to similar advantage.

If you will let me know when Dr. Torrey comes
in I will call upon him—If it should be before 10th July
I shall be at Beverly with my family—but my address
will still be here—

I am 
your very truly
J A Lowell
