Litchfield June 4 1827 —

Dear Sir

Your secand very acceptable package of plants arrived in due time after being sent — I was exceedingly rejoiced at seeing many of the specimens which it contained, as they gave me an opportunity of examining several genera new to me. You then asked me to transmit you a list of the species. I wished; it would hardly be practicable as I have so few Southern plants — Continue to send me as you have done, & I shall be fully satisfied. I want much, however, to see your species of Hedysarum. I shall subjoin to this letter a list of 50 species scattered thro' your book that would be particularly valuable.

I have just dispatched to you, by the way of New Haven, a small box of minerals which I hope will reach you in safety —

I have had a species of Prinos from the neighbourhood of Augusta sent me, which is not in your book. It resembles the description of the P. montana of Jamaica — Yours with esteem John P. Brace
