I could try to get for you in
return? Several of the plants
you sent with the [?]
were quite welcome, for instance,
[Libelia Kaluii?], Asth. [caryocarpus?],
[SG. phudia Canadensus Lee Clioautia?]
Ohio, &c &c.

Is it possible to get for me
the [Traus?]. of the Wisn. State Ag. Soc.
for 1852, containing your catalo-
gue of plants of Wisn &c? If
so, I am willing to pay for
it if it is on sale, and not too high priced.

Are you willing to let me
have your photograph, which
you have one to spare? I am
trying to get those of the
botanists of the country.

Should you came East this
summer I should be pleased
to have you come out to my
place. We can keep you over
night if you wish to stay.
It is [Irwood?] Station, Hudson
River R. R. about twelve miles
out from the city proper, or Washing-
ton Heights.

Please acknowledge receipt
of the book, and return my
list of Westn plants, at
your convenience, as it is
the only copy I have, and it
is quite a loss of time to
write off another

Respectfully Yours

W W Duslow

Station N

New York City

P.S. Should you have any plants
to send, the best and cheapest
way is by mail, at the rate
of two cents for each few
[?], or parts of the same.
Mr. [Waters?], who is no here, tells
me your Post Master will not
take them at this rate, I do
not see why. I am all the
time receiving and sending
them so, up to four pounds in
weight, I only mark outside
"Botanical Specimens, Plants only."
