Plants have arrived & are
at the Bank.

Dr {Dea} Sir.

I sent yesterday to Dr. Wray's care a pack=
et of specimens to be forwarded you by the
first safe conveyance. The packet contains
but very few plants of any interest. But as I had
a number on hand I deemed them of some
account perhaps to your correspondents. Be=
tween the layers of paper, I have put often
a number of plants, the separation of which
will give you some trouble — I have not
marked them as usual, with the exception
of the grasses I know the most of the gen=
era. To some I have attached memoran=
dums, if I have given any improper names
or if there be any worthy of remarks in
return from you, shall be glad to re=
ceive them.

I hope you have recd the roots I sent
you by the way of suggesting.
